There's a decentish tutorial from nanog 51

https://www.nanog.org/meetings/nanog51/presentations/Sunday/NANOG51.Talk34.NANOG51%20IRR%20Tutorial.pdf

ripe's training materials are here:

I'd start with the nanog tutorial, I'd treat it as background till you
get to the end, and the look at it again with an eye towards what you
need to do which is probably create a few route objects and an aut-num.
