if OP is interested in learning fast in a structured way there is UBI https://bikeschool.com/

also some areas offer park tool school https://www.parktool.com/park-tool-school

I got back into bikes and wrenching on my own some years back. I had basics bike skills (pack a bearing, adjust brakes and deraillers) but learned a ton more by doing, looking things up and getting input from Bike Forums. Learned more helping at a bike charity and working on neighbors bikes..... especially what a BSO is and how great thumshifters are for simple bikes
