2. Why do you feel you need to learn this?

My own opinion, I think you need to go to your local library and search for investment education, fiduciary education. Buttonhole a research librarian and explain what you're trying to learn.

I believe fiduciary education is more for professionals in the investment business who manage money for clients, or sell investment advice or packages to consumers, or even are assistant level or above fund managers for like a bank, boutique wealth firm, or even a known mutual fund company. If you plan to take fiduciary level education, you need to know a lot about investing to start. Time value of money, types of investments, market theories, overall economy, business cycles, a little accounting. If they're trying to bring fiduciary down to ordinary people I would have to ask why. At some point they're not being philanthropic. They might try to sell you something.
