SAE teaches cubase and protool. SOMA teaches Sonar and Protool. The internet teaches you everything you want to learn and its free...

+1 mogui for the internet reference.

Best to do as much research on these DAW systems before deciding to focus on one which you might be proficient at. You can try out demos just to see how savvy you can get with them. THEN approach the person or organisation who can give you an in depth hands on teaching approach to your chosen DAW.

honestly, i have 1 or 2 frens who are quite good. But when asking them,they dun seems too interested to teach. Quite selfish with just keeping these knowlegde to themselves only

to be honest, they're not selfish how can you say they're selfish?!...

they're just scared =) put in effort dude, they'd be begging you to teach them in a matter of years.

OR, you could take on the same path and learn yourself?

The internet, like mentioned, is a great invention.

Just a scenario...Just a thought....

Its not about being selfish maybe....its just that it probably took a lot of effort and in some cases a lot of time and money to learn...so put yourself in their shoes....after years of slogging and learning things the hard way...you waltz in and want to learn everything, and in your case seemingly quite specific(Cubase, ProTools), the fast and quick way......its something you have to try out yourself and learn....its all trial and error.... in the old days if you were an intern in a studio, you just swept the floors, made coffee all day and still no one actually told you nothing, it was up to you to observe and learn first....

and as gutturalpiss mentioned...the internet is just out there with information on everything...

So lets not throw the word selfish around....

Just my opinion btw.....

p.s.I have had the personal experience of people who abuse such sharing of knowledge as well, I have had people who sms me in the morning with exam questions believe it or not...

SOFT is a very generous and sharing community. If you encounter any problems with any of the DAW software, you can always post here. I'm sure we'll do our best to help you.

As for a structured course, I'm sure there are some out there. In the end, nothing beats getting your hands-dirty - ie doing it, making mistakes, troubleshooting, looking up the manual, asking people etc.

First things first - which DAW software are you intending of using? And what and how do you intend to use it? (recording audio tracks, midi arrangements, live performance, post-production etc).
