If you have registered, it takes some time until you receive an invitation. Also I'm not sure the course is accessible all the time. ST can't simply answer everyone why he didn't received an email. Can you imagine when 100 people registers and everyone asks?
However this leads to another point. Why the hell are the courses 'private'? Today we have youtube... well, that's something we can't change. So be patient, please.
Meanwhile I can give you a simple advice, install CubeMX, select your device and create a simple blinking LED example. After that have a look on the clock configuration and try to configure your clocks.
Next activate some peripheral like USART/SPI or so and try to configure it according to your needs.
In the last step, before you generate your project, go into settings (if you don't, the tool will instruct you to do so anyway) and set your project path, IDE you want to use etc.
After you get familiar with the tool/wizard, look around, there are some nice features which are not visible on first sight.
Honestly the tool itself is quite simple and after an hour you should be able to use it.
The next level is trying to configure with the tool something like LTDC, FMC, USB etc. In such cases you already need to understand how those peripherals work, so you definitely need to understand those interfaces/protocols and I would advise to study the HAL library. In general the HAL library has a common interface across all peripherals, so once you learn one peripheral, the principle is the same for the rest.
I hope my answer encouraged you enough to start with CubeMX without starting the course.
Enoy development on/with ST and have a nice day,
Renegade
