uhh not many people here use watercolors. try to check through book thread, maybe read up on some other forums about it. do your own research.
As a watercolour artist I'd say you don't need a course, just follow these three steps:
1. learn your fundamentals. In particular colour theory and how watercolours work in theory.
2. Get the right materials. You can't do watercolours on printer paper. It'll ruin the paper and the colours will look completely off while you paint, since the paper gets damp and dark and won't ever dry straight. You don't need to get artist grade paint, but if you can, you should, since the paint will last you forever. Seriously I haven't used up a single paint yet. For just learning the technique, cheap paints will do. Just make sure if you don't get them in tubes, that you check that most your colours are very dark in a dry state. The darker, the better.
3. Watch people paint on youtube and analyze what they're doing, armed with the theoretical knowledge you learned in step 1. Then try to copy what they're doing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfaYqOdgK-c videos like these should teach you a lot if you analyze them well.

There aren't advanced materials. Just buy some watercolour paper ie. cheap Bockingford.
Then you need a few colours, yellow ochre, ultramarine blue & burnt sienna from Winsor & Newton.
After a few months you'll either go mad, & want to branch out.
