Turning - milling
You can purchase CAM training from your local CAM Reseller. Or figure it out by yourself from all the YouTube videos on the subject and built in tutorials.

I'll do one in my own time. But I was simply illustrating nothing is free and that the best approach would likely be to seek out some training.

Sure there is @scottmoyse, help here on the forum is free. At least I have never paid for it.
That is the purpose of these forums, to get help from other useres. Jeff is an ADSK employee and helps here a lot.
No its not. Time = Money.
Also typically support from Autodesk employees on these forums is only for customers on subscription. That will be another reason for them to migrate the old forums to Lithium... Because there is automation in place for Autodesk Subscription customers.

Right, now I have a moment I can reply properly.
Here are all the technically rock solid YouTube channels:
CAD / CAM Australia & New Zealand
Mill Turn from a programming standpoint is combining the turning toolpaths with the milling toolpaths. You just need to program the milling aspects positionally. So look for 3 + 2 programming videos in that lot. HSMWorks is a different UI, and has slightly different selection techniques but the principles are the same. Basically you need to set tool orientation in the geometry tab for each milling/drilling operation.
Time is Money. If you are running a business, and you want to spend time with your family in the evenings, then the quickest way to learn is to pay for training. These forums aren't a training resource, but are a learning resource. If you have time to burn, and don't mind a slower learning path, then get stuck into the supplied tutorials and the various YouTube content.
NYC CNC is also a good YouTube channel for Fusion 360, but he's learning on the go, so sometimes shares bad technique or uses uneccessary workarounds. He hasn't done any mill/turn yet though.
Once you get started yourself, and show us some examples of what you are trying to achieve, and where you have got to, then we can help out much easier. Just asking how to do mill turn is a broad question, and doesn't demonstrate to anyone what you have tried to achieve by yourself already.

Fusion isn't typical... I used that word deliberately.
Autodesk don't normally support any of their products during 30 day trials. Fusion is the exception. So are the Xpress CAM products.

Not really. If a 17 year old went to a car dealer and said I'm interested in buying a car, but can you teach me to drive during the test drive. What would they say?
At least with software you get a whole bunch of tutorials to guide you through the process.
There aren't any mill / turn tutorials in the product yet, there should be. And I'm sure there will be soon.

In any case... this video shows Tool Orientation in Fusion 360 on a mill / turn part.
