I think Cabelas had a class once, maybe still do.  Think they showed all the different tools for comparison (scales vs digital), single vs turret, etc.  And they didn't forget to have kits for sale at the class.

All the reloading manuals I've seen start out with a Reloading 101 chapter.  Supplement that with tips from an "old hand" in reloading, if you know one, or ask questions here.  We all had to start sometime, and the learning never really stops.  I've been at it for around 40 years, and still find out new things.
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.

When Government does it, it's called "Social Security"

Ah, yes--the Video age.  When I started, I still had to WIND MY WATCH!  :chuckle:

As a beginner myself.....a week now....i suggest a book, youtube, somebody thats been doing it for awhile, and above all else, go slow, check, double check everything. One double powder charge and it could be the end of picking your own nose.

Or worse yet; a cartridge with no powder, followed by a cartidge fired into a barrel with a bullet stuck partway up the bore!
Don't reload unless you can give it your undivided attention.

Looks like the Rifle range in Bellingham offers some classes.
