To chime in with my own learning experience so far.

I've done the standard: Google "freecad tutorial", click open a bunch of likely-looking result tabs, and have a quick browse to locate quality. From youtube, to written and illustrated guides, etc.

It's not difficult to find useful instruction. But the overall pool of easily-searchable knowledge suffers from that standard internet Time Fragmentation effect : that is, within months and years of publication, most of it is out of date by anywhere ranging from A Little to A Lot; a degree which is only determinable to the casual reader through trial-and-error. So a certain degree of inefficiency and double-work is near guaranteed.
