Most of the code that you will learn will be version independent, and the End of Life for Tomcat 7 is already set to March 2021. I'd recommend to go with Tomcat 9. Installation - especially for development purposes - will be trivial and is easier for development anyway.
I'm assuming you're running the old version, because that's what the CenOS repositories hold. For development: No need to do this. I don't know Richard's course, but I assume that he'll talk about a development environment and installing a new dev environment as well: Use that, rather than whatever comes with CentOS. Access permissions on the files of a development server are far simpler than on fully public-server-enabled installs.
