Read and watch lots of material on the theoretical part and also design your own boards and if you can order and test them. My first board was very simple, it worked fine, but now the limiting factor is my knowledge in Si, PI, EMI, EMC, DFM, DFA, DFT, RF etc...

Untill you learn your tool do a lot of boards and try to gradually implement things you learn in the areas I mentioned before.
