On what kind of operating system?

Your post didn't say, but I got the impression you might be thinking of
trying one of the Evolution builds for Windows.  If so, I would strongly
recommend against it.  The Windows builds are experimental at best and
not supported in the least, and would likely not leave a good first
impression of open source software.

If she would be using a Unix-like operating system for which Evolution
is targeted, then I suppose the online user documentation would be the
closest thing to a training course.  The user documentation is written
with a task-oriented narrative which should help a newcomer get up and
running quickly.

Andre Klapper authored the documentation.  I'm sure he would appreciate
feedback from a first-time user.
