Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

I'd suggest trying to lower the number of UV shells in your UV layout. That looks like a nightmare to work with.
