I recommend a solid subscription service like LinkedInLearning.com, used to be Lynda.com. They have vetted, solid, and accurate complete tutorial series on editing with Premiere Pro. A couple months subscription and diligent work on your part would move you a lot further forward than anything else but working with an experienced editor.
Phillip is right. There's a steep initial learning curve to a full pro NLE like Premiere. Just remember ... after the initial period, it only get's steeper. Sigh. But you're already doing a lot of work by then.
You have be really motivated personally cause it does take a ton of time to get the basics down pat ( how to match source, project setttings, and export settings ). And tell story.
The good thing is that when you first do your first edit to tell the story ( it's like working with a microscope and editing frame by frame etc... kinda tedious ) and then you play it back ( with sound ) a magic thing happens..... you see your work and it's really smooth and fluid and you don't see the cuts you made but you see the story unfold.... and it's really beautiful ! Then you'll be hooked.
