Did one, found out I liked it, proceeded to 3.
For 3, I'd advice you to go to SniggWaffe to learn how to pew pew : )
Above should not be done if you are sensitive to being called *** and spy.

4) Pay a bunch of money to Agony Unleashed in hopes you learn something valuable...
Agony Unleashed and EVE University seem to focus more on the kind of PvP one engages in in 0.0--fleet warfare, bubble camps, etc. This is a minority of the type of PvP pirates typically engage in.
There is a significant difference.
EU=All aspects of EvE+a side order of combat ops (can't comment on quality).
AU=100% focus on pewpew. Plus:
By getting the basics down (i.e. T1 frig/dessie fighting fits, basic maneuvers, understanding of fleet comms, hearing how a quality FC goes about his/her business, and getting that all-important first KM amoung other things) a reasonably intelligent player can easily apply all of this to small/solo gang work.
Not to mention overcoming intitial fear of ship loss/screwing up. And how bigger is usually NOT better. And so on.
Complete the AU course (Basic/Wolfpacks) and the OP would be a significant step up the ladder over the "trial and error" types of suggestions posted in this thread and would be considered a more serious candidate by reputable pirate/outlaw corps who are willing to take on and train low-SP players.
And no-I am not affiliated with AU in any way, shape, or form outside of taking the 2 classes in 2006 shortly after starting to play EvE. I am not a huge fan of Rell's (possibly one of the most annoying voices in EvE) or the semi-Counterstrike mentality in the overall AU playstyle I observed.
But...and a big but..they know what they are doing and better-have the patience, willingness to deal with new players (mistakes, warts 'n all), and the ability to teach. And if I recall...they even teach the basics of scanner use-something sorely lacking in the majority of veteran players.
It's the OP's call...but that pocket change spent wisely early on pays big dividends later on.
But what do I know  .
