I highly recommend SocialTalent for recruiting training. They offer a variety of topics in short consecutive videos that create learning paths. You can apply what you learn in real time. They build on topics and skills at a gradual pace and you can learn as much or as little as you want in whatever time you have. Their newsletters, blogs, webinars and podcasts are a great place to start. I was lucky enough to have a previous employer (IBM) who provided this training. I would recommend it to anyone getting started in recruiting/talent acquisition. It is definitely one of the best recruiting training solutions I have used.

+1 to SocialTalent.
I recommend investing in 1:1 mentorship or support from someone more experienced. Having someone in your corner who has been around the block a few times and can support or challenge your thinking will save you time and accelerate your learning. I offer this type of support.
