For most Captivate questions I can answer right away but this question is not so easy to answer. I have long career as professor, teacher, trainer which may be the cause of my hesitation.

At this moment my training jobs are always for personalized training.  No trainee is a dummy when you talk about learning, IT etc…. Way of most efficient learning can be so different.  Myself I NEVER took any Captivate training, nor did I buy any book (find most books not practical, skipping over the most important topics). Videos can be good assets to refresh a workflow (if properly made) but are no good IMO to learn and understand basics of a tool as multifeatured as Captivate. I learned it by jumping in and trying to solve problems for other users on the social media like this portal.

Whatever resource you’ll use, just want to point to a blog where I summarize the 3 important stumbling blocks for Captivate starters.  For non-responsive projects, if you understand them you will encounter less problems. For responsive projects add the understanding of Fluid Boxes (or Breakpoints, still very valuable). When you check a book, make sure those topics are treated (don’t be amazed if they are not…. or very limited).
