Do you have a great online course on audio that you like to recomend? Its an extra plus if they using fairlight. I specially like to dig more into audio mixing and mastering for film, but dialog editing and building a rich soundscape is off course a plus too.
 
There are many in-depth discussions on post sound editing and post sound mixing over on the Gearslutz Audio Forum's Post section:

John Purcell's book Dialogue Editing for Motion Pictures: A Guide to the Invisible Art is extremely good:

Jay Rose's Audio Postproduction for Film and Video is also good:

Woody Woodhall's 2010 book Audio Production and Postproduction is dated but actually pretty good

Ashley Shepherd's book Pro Tools for Video, Film, & Multimedia was extremely helpful to me for the first film I mixed in the early 2000's:

Dave Angell's book Pro Tools for Film & Video was also helpful (and covers similar areas):

There are also guides on passing the Pro Tools 210 and 310 post-production certification exams:

I took both classes in the early 2000s, but that was a long time ago compared to where things are now. I can't recall seeing video tutorials specifically for film sound mixing per se, but there are college classes on mixing at UCLA and USC. I can't help you with Fairlight or Logic Pro or Nuendo, because film & TV sound is so heavily dominated by Pro Tools in LA, NY, Chicago, Memphis, London, and other post-production centers.
