Chances are you wont find a single course that`ll cover all that. They`re looking to make money, which is why a lot of places require you to start with the basic course, which then allows you to take the intermediate course, and finally after that course you can take the advanced course. They wont let you jump from basic to advanced or start with the intermediate course/skip the basic one
