Sailing lessons for a cruising dinghy or Hobie Wave? - sailing dinghy 19 foot

I am a small dinghy Hobie Wave or a cruise around the harbor .. Do I get a real navigation license? What is the best way to learn? The current license (classes) for $ 600 .. Is there a simple alternative to a license or learning?

I live in Long Beach, CA
