No, this would not be a deductible business expense as it was not simply improving or maintaining your current skills.
In order to qualify as a business education expense, it must improve or maintain your current skills and cannot qualify you for a new trade or business. Since you took the class so you could learn how to sell on Amazon this would be considered qualifying you for a new business.
"You may be able to deduct work-related education expenses paid during the year. To be deductible, your expenses must be for education that (1) maintains or improves your job skills or (2) a law requires to keep your status or occupation. However, even if the education meets either of these tests, the education can't be part of a program that will qualify you for a new trade or business or that you need to meet the minimal educational requirements of your trade or business."https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc513
