On that note, they will teach you the specifics of the CRJ's systems, not the theory behind them (they'll tell you the number of stages in the compressor spool, not what a compressor is).
Before you go to class you should know:
How a turbine engine works
What bleed air is
What an air cycle machine is
The difference between A/C and D/C power
Not in depth, but at least understand their respective wikipedia articles.
