I would also like to mention some of the resources that are available to you presently. Some of these you may already know about.  

1) From the Help menu, choose Contents - Getting Started manual : This manual contains 4 tutorials. One on creating the model of a steel structure, and performing a steel design. One
on creating the model of a concrete structure, and performing a concrete design. A third one on using the interactive design facilities for designing base plates, connections, etc. And a fourth one on various methods of modeling plate elements, and analyzing a slab structure. These tutorials cover the STAAD command language, as well as the graphical methods of solving these problems.
 
2) From the Help menu, choose Contents - Examples manual : Contains 29 example, and 14 verification problems. The emphasis is entirely on the STAAD command language. But, it covers a wide variety of structural engineering problems.  

3) The Multi-media help : In the STAAD.Pro Help menu, there is a facility called multi-media help. It contains some movie style tutorials for some of the basic methods in creating models.
 

4) In most versions of STAAD.Pro 200x, if you go to the Start - Programs - STAAD.Pro 200x, you will find a topic called New features. If you have an internet browser, you can view these. These cover the new features in pre-processing, post-processing and inter-operability that were introduced in that version. 

5) If you go to the STAAD.Pro's Help menu, there is a topic called STAAD.Pro Info on the web. It has a category called Tutorials. It will take you to a website from which you can choose from among many items to learn more about the program.
