Paid SEO courses fall into 2 camps:
1) advanced stuff you'll only get value from once you have foundations
2) stuff you can find online for free
(I like courses, but you'll learn more spending $100 on getting your own site up vs $997 on a course if you are starting from zero)

#SEO career plan I (accidentally) followed:
Get a job at an agency to get exposed to lots of different SEO tasks, clients, types of sites, niches etc
Create a blog & grow w/ SEO. Anything you don't understand, Google.
Once you start getting consistent results, try freelancing.

Worried about lack of experience?

The more you know about SEO, the less you know. 
Donβt neglect the basics.
Good SEO work (and a lot of stuff actually) is just doing the basics over and over again.
There are few shortcuts for putting in the time and building a solid foundation of skills.

Keep it simple.
Be consistent.
SEO is a marathon not a sprint.

Oh, and one final thing:
Good luck & have fun.
SEO is (for the most part) a pretty friendly industry to be part of & there's lots of places it can take you.
See ya in the SERPs.
( Just don't get too good and steal all my rankings π )
