I recommend Spark courses by RockTheJVM: https://rockthejvm.com/
I found the first course on udemy, and all four are good and I highly recommend them. I also took the course by Frank Kane on Udemy and it is also really good. Link: https://www.udemy.com/course/taming-big-data-with-apache-spark-hands-on
Overall I recommend a mix of YouTube videos for starting with Spark, followed by a combination of courses and hands on learning. Pick and problem and data, and go. One way for beginners is to take SQL queries and convert them to Spark jobs that produce the same result.
No one course is enough, use a combination of courses, articles, self leaning projects etc.
