COBOL is an extremely rare programming language for people to want to use.

There are tutorials, but there are not great tutorials out there. I
think the nature of COBOL means that to some extent the concept of a
"great COBOL tutorial" is self-contradicting.
I would suggest try google "COBOL tutorial"

Murach's Mainframe COBOL (2004) by Mike Murach?

And some aspirin and other stress relief aids, to help ease the pain
resulting from repeated banging of head against keyboard trying to
get any non-trivial COBOL program implemented and doing useful work.
