    Get Photoshop and get creative. There won't be courses for just flyers. It will be a graphic design course id imagine.

    Youtube is your friend,

    Have a search for Photoshop tutorials there and that will sort you right out.

    I prefer using Illustrator CS for all of my flyer work, I find it stronger for text based stuff, nice clean vectors

    have some bits up here:

    You can learn how to use the software but a good knowledge of design and what looks right is essential. A good looking flyer/poster looks like it was easy to do but in fact its a tough thing to do over and over. Its like teaching someone to use Ableton, it doesnt make them a good DJ.

    I'm not having a go at you, you might have a fine art degree behind you. Just be careful that you don't fall into the trap of thinking that a ton of photoshop filters and effects will make a good flyer. Lay it out first on paper, then do on screen.
