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.

Training Books
Doing some training and currently using a book called "Introducing Maya 2011" by SYBEX is this a good book to start with? I want to focus on Animation, rigging and lighting at the end of the day.

For the money you cannot beat video training. With Maya it's not so much getting a item by item description of what is in all the menus as much as learning the proper work flow. I find books to be a good reference but not my first choice for learning. Even when they have projects it's much harder to get the work flow down than from a video.
"If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." Sir Isaac Newton, 1675
