Obviously you do, but it's a question of where you get them. Ultimately to become good at TM1 you need to:
(a) Read the manuals and documentation; but most importantly of all
(b) Practice. Create cubes, write rules, create interfaces, reorder cubes to get an unserstanding of optimal design, etc, etc. Then practice some more. The majority of your skills will be driven from practical, hands on experience.
Now, there
are some courses available through IBM training, but...

That's unfortunate, because it's closer to $3500 and that's in US dollars:

However it
is possible to self-learn the most important aspects of TM1; that's what most of the older hands had to do simply because there
were no courses at the time. There wasn't even an OLAP Forums where you can now turn for help if you've looked through the documentation and can't find the answer.
Though having said that the software is of course a lot more complex now than it was back in the version 6 days where we didn't even have TurboIntegrator, for instance; don't even think about Web or EV.
The first part of your message isn't entirely clear, but I'm assuming that you're currently working for a place which uses TM1; perhaps they could give you access to their development environment to play around in? Even if they can't, I assume that you have a Perspectives (as opposed to Client) licence which means that you can create a local server, and your own cubes on that server. (Even better, you could create a server service on your own desktop and connect to that, which would give you the opportunity to experiment with having various logins with different permissions.) It'd be worth downloading the documentation in .pdf format and working through some of those. Start with creating dimensions, then create a cube, then write some rules, then write some TIs.
But the important thing is that you have access to the software; TM1 isn't a tool that you can learn "in theory" and then apply it.
