Not off-hand, cynthiann
I've run across a few free ones on the net
(usually someone asking the same question sends them for review)
But they never are very good
Even if they start off OK, or have some good info, none have been close enough to good for me to recommend

Nothing beats apprenticing that's for sure
Even for just a few months

I don't know of any videos, but you can check out paintqualitydotcom (lol sorry it won't let me post links until I have made 10 or more posts) It seems to have some really helpful information that you can print out for your reference. It has information on diagnosing paint problems, application conditions, and I believe prep as well.

Go to the "how to" page and follow the links.

Not apprentice quality stuff, but very useful for basics anyway.
