I know that you’re typically paying for the accredation when you go to college, but there are editing certification courses out there and I was thinking that if I had the knowledge that I would otherwise have that it might be doable. But I have genuinely no idea where I should start and can’t find any booklists for courses online. Please help!

University of Chicago Graham School offers a certificate in editing.
They’d start you with the Chicago Manual of Style
There is a lot that goes into editing. I think it would be very difficult to learn on your own. It would be much quicker and easier to learn from someone. It might be worth saving up for college, and you can probably get a good deal at a community college (full disclosure: I teach at a community college).
