You can take a class to learn the fundementals of the programs like Premiere, PS and alike, but the drive, and success comes from you spending hours fucking around with it yourself.
I am like some of the other's here. Learned PS, Premiere, html, and all of it through trial and error, friends, and reading. No formal training. But when you learn on your own, you will have a steep learning curve, so make sure you have the desire, and drive as well as patience to work through it. Newer versions of PS have he backstep, there is no reason you can't teach yourself.
You do need to be creatively inclined to make anything not like the other schmoe's who just are one big group of carbon copy lazies. But that is something you yourself will have to judge for yourself.
