If you are standing on HP road you can follow this way: http://www.hp.com/rnd/training/tech_training.htm

If you are Cisco adapted use this road-map: http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/le3/le2/le0/le9/learning_certification_type_home.html

Each course have official courseware. You can borrow somewhere (coleges, partners, internet).
There are other sourses of the books as well.

You can also use interactive trainings - tahy are good enought for beginers (KNET, LearnKey)
