Don't waste your money and learn to do it yourself, the stuff people can teach you like beatmatching can be easily picked up without tuition, other things like tune selection, reading a crowd will be picked up from experience.
Youtube is your friend, use it.

Save your money, your likely to get ripped off anyway. I found a DJ course in Dublin, it was only 2 days and was €320. All they did was teach you basic stuff you can learn yourself like setting up equipment, the basics of using equipment, the basics of mixing and things like organizing your music.

Save your money. If you need to set up equipment there's always the manual or just trial and error which isn't too hard. It's not that hard to actually use the equipment itself (assuming you're using Pioneer) and there's lots of tutorials on YouTube.

I basically just downloaded the VirtualDJ trial and started mixing.

Honestly, do you really want to waste a few hundred Euro learning how to put a CD in a CDJ? or how to plug it in?
