You can get some practice with indexing other sorts of databases if you download it and get to work here:

https://www.familysearch.org/volunteer/indexing

I do it in my spare moments during the day and in bigger blocks of time on weekends. You can spend as much or as little time on it as you like, though your batches expire if you don't finish them in the alotted time.
