Beginning April 1st, and running through April 30th, there is a new 2024 BMW MOA Election discussion area within The Club section of the forum. Within this forum area is also a sticky post that provides the ground rules for participating in the Election forum area. Also, the candidates statements are provided. Please read before joining the conversation, because the rules are very specific to maintain civility.

Don't know of any specific hands-on training courses, but there is plenty of reference material available if you have prior experience with any other vehicle. The Jim von Baden DVD's are very good. Our own hexhead/camhead forum has good info available in the DIY section at the top. A search on Google or YouTube will turn up plenty of how-to procedures (some of which might be questionable - look for verification). Your local MOA club may be able to connect you another member willing to spend an afternoon walking you through a service. Or maybe look in the Anonymous Book for a local listing offering both "kk" (coffee & conversation) and "m" (mechanical help).
Edit: It occurs to me that finding help will depend somewhat on which year your bike is. Info on the WC version might still be a little harder to come by...

The only real, comprehensive answer to your question is get a job at a BMW dealer and have them send you to factory training.
When you get that job and that training you'll understand the need for the collection of factory special tools and access to factory computer information systems that is required.
To add to the answer is the admonishment that the Internet is stupid and being a lone wolf is as well. Join your local BMW club and work with people face to face. There will be someone in the club that knows how to help with many solutions you need.
