Congrats and welcome!

Also...

Go to that site, click on the top training option, click on the aircraft you will be training for... and there is a lot of information to learn there, including practice versions of the CBTs...

How about we cut this guy a little slack, he is trying to reach out for some guidance on how to proceed.
Learning VNav can be an issue, but generally speaking it is more of a problem with the “old” guys. We have some outstanding instructors currently working in our training department and they can facilitate a smooth transition. Approach the training with an open mind and a willingness to absorb a lot of information in a relatively short period of time. I would recommend you make time to pre-study the material prior to attending your first day in class, but I would not stress over learning VNav.
Good luck, I’m sure you will do great.

But as mentioned, tell them you will take any class as long as you can give 2 weeks to your current employer. I flew with a new FO who told his company that he would be leaving, just didn't know when, he was able to leave on 4 days notice with the heads up he gave (also 135).
