The Coast Guard Auxilary classes are pretty tough to beat for most piloting navigation purposes. I also like their textbook Advanced Coastal Navigation it's easy to read and understand. Both the book and chart #1, which also has the legend for symbols used on charts, are included with the class. You could teach yourself all you really need but it's easier for someone to show you some trick stuff like doubling the angle off the bow.
