Wow!! getting some harsh answers. I agree I think your young. If it's a career goal than an accredited Mechanic school should be your goal. If you've got a bike at home and just are interested in learning how to work on it yourself instead of paying someone else seventy bucks an hour to butcher it up buy a service manual for your bike and talk to other local riders who work on their bikes. For the most part if you can take it apart you can put it back together! Now I'm not suggesting you split the cases right out the gate. But you follow the service manual, pay attention to torque specs you too can be a busted knuckle backyard mechanic. I have faith in you!!

As an addendum to the answer above...
No kidding on the harsh answers.
Step 1: to work on anything, you need some basic tools: wrenches, sockets, testers, soldering iron, crimpers .. etc.
Step 2: Learn some basic mechanical principles, most of which you probably know, but aren't aware you know.
Step 3: Get your hands dirty. Break things, fix things.
Step 4: Read Books! NOONE but NOONE knows everything there is to know. Books, however, do! Shop manuals, engineering references like Glovers and the Handbook.
Step 5: STAY IN SCHOOL! To read the books you need to learn the language they are written. It ain't english, it's < mechanical-ese > and as such you need a dictionary.
Step 6: This should probably be step 1.. learn some basic safety practices so as not to stick your finger in a running motor etc.
Step 7: Enjoy it. If you don't like it, don't do it.

what do you mean? Do you want to train for a career or just learn for your own education or what ... ? If you are a bit more detailed in your request then people will be better set to help you.
ADDITIONAL - yes we figured out that it was for fixing them but to what level - as a job, hobby or what? I assume from your language skills that you are still quite young, why don't you ask the careers adviser at your school.

Most folk that can fix bikes have the natural gift to do it. Training may give you the knowledge, but instinct is what gives a person skill.

I went to American Motorcycle Institute in Florada for Suzuki and Ducati certification. It was cool working on $15,000 ducati's and not having to worry about breaking them.
