well, it depends on your skills and capabilties. If you have computer background and have some basic knowledge of vbscripting and programming then can quickly come into this, by yourself. If you are a self learner then get some basics on vbscripting and a bit of testing fundamental that helps while automating the application under test. QTP help is quite sufficient to proceed with, in addition to that there are lots of info here on qtp.
But if you need more guidance or someone to mentor you then you ought to go for a training institute.

I know about a intresting book written by Tarun Lalwani called "QTP Unplugged". An excellent book for next level of beginners but the concepts are clear there which can help beginners too.

I recommend you try that book after you read its preface and you can write to tarun about any questions you have. He is available on www.knowledgeinbox.com.

I know that there are few people from london on this forum. If they can pitch in and help Rachel i would be more than grateful to you guys.
