You may have to contact the official Apple retail stores for their basic

to intermediate training and learn when they have them. ~ Also some

of the authorized Apple resellers have introductory or informative

learning experience gatherings; and there are Apple user groups.


Several of these I've read into, say you would need to 'bring your Mac'

so a Portable with AC power adapter would be easier than a Mac Mini

{without keyboard, mouse, or display; as these likely won't be available.}

"Mac Basic, Mac Intermediate" & other Product sessions may be scheduled

at an official Apple Store. I see one in my State (the only Apple Store) so a

larger population urban state or smaller affluent country would have others.


Independent Apple resellers may also have some scheduled events for

Mac users; or be affiliated with a user group... http://applegroups.org/


From 'Contact - How to Contact Us - Apple ' page are generalized items;

first one shows (nearest the page user) available topics to further inquire.


• Today at Apple - Apple

• Tell me more


• Apple - User Groups


To the latter end, see what appears in this example search result.

Hopefully you can locate a convenient source of not too far assistance in this

area. There also are independent training for Apple products, where their staff

has taken courses and knows how to do things; these generally are paid staff.


note different levels of 'training' in examples shown here:

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Apple+Training&t=ffsb&ia=web


Among training results, are items that point to Certification and Training courses

that are usually directed at professionals who then teach others or run business.

Professional courses, from independent business as well as Apple. Not basic.


New to Mac - Official Apple Support


So there are tons of bits out there. I've never taken any computer courses, and

in 1984 walked into a tiny computer store and they had Macintosh models. I

was able to use them directly, unlike the IBM monochrome monster pre-PCs.


You should be able to get a user manual, even a Missing Manual or published

book; there also are free user guides for iPhone, iPad, and some Mac in the

Apple Support online. I found one for two different iOS Devices that I now have.

(And have only five different Mac computers here with various Mac OS X.)


But I didn't buy one until for quite awhile later. ~ I was given ones that needed

repair & learned how to fix them; I fixed hundreds to donate, in my spare time.

There still is a lot I do not know about software or writing scripts, or coding.


In any event...

Good luck & happy computing! 🙂

PS:

Due to slow internet in my location I was unable to add this additional

link (only had five browser windows open) to my reply, as it 'timed-out'.


•Where to get answers about your Mac - Apple Support


Hopefully you can use the tools inside the Mac and online to further

learn more about your Mac mini and how to use various applications.


Good luck & happy trails! 🙂
