There are numerous courses that you can go on including ones suitable for beginers. You shouldn't have difficulty finding a suitable course as there are centres in and around most mountain ranges (and some well away from the mountains).
They tend to be quite expensive - $100 to $200 (£50 to £100) a day but they're excellent as a 'try out' as you can borrow most of the necessary gear instead of having to buy it, which can work out to be ridiculously expensive.
Another excellent option is to go with experienced friends. Start small, see how you like it then move on to bigger and more challenging trips as you gain experience.
There's lots of info in books and on the internet that can tell you things but they're no substitute for actually getting out there yourself.

Mountain climbing. What do you mean? Mountainering, rock climbing, hiking? Best resource is the people that live in the area you want to climb and go often. Depends on range, weather, location etc. The best advice I can think of is start small and go bigger. Learn along the way.
