There is a great deal of useful material online -- and a lot of crap too. You just need to be selective.

If you just need some online courses on technical subjects like Photoshop and Lightroom you should try www.lynda.com. They have some great tutorials that run from 3 to 8 hours total. For $25 a month it is very good.
Not to compete with full online university style education but useful in its niche.

I highly recommend them. I learned more about Photoshop from a 12-hour retouching course than I learned in 7 years in art school--they go very deep into the subject matter.

Why I am bringing this up, is if you get into extensively retouching your photos to try to bring them to a professional level of polish, imo you'll eventally get tired of doing so much in post and try to get more right in camera, and that pushes you to be more aware of what you are actually capturing at the time. I hope that makes sense; it has had a profound impact on me.
