I’m getting into options too with Option Alpha. Option Animal and Simpler Options. The first 2 have tons of video and PDFs about trading.
Schwab has Options Express with very good tutorials
If you want to learn with a graduate school education and spend a fair amount of money for excellent teaching, hand holding and good guarantees, as long as you don’t trade before you finish the levels of trading, I would go with Options Animal. If you want to learn in a highly rated room some strategies that are lower risk (mostly non-directional), but can be steady gains, I would go with Steady Options, which requires about a month of paper trading before entering for real, which is really important if you have never traded options, as these strategies require some good understanding of basic options. These are more advanced.
