Hi James, Don't know about courses but peepcode have a series of video tutorials on rspec.
With regard to design patterns, I'd recommend the "Head First Design Patterns" book. It can be a pretty dry subject but I found this was something I could read cover to cover. If you're just doing rails you probably don't need to know much about patterns but if you want to build your own systems then they're very useful. I think also that a lot of the design patterns you'll see are focused on static classical languages (eg c++/java/c#). A lot of things just don't apply in Ruby (eg design by interface, favour composition over inheritence etc).
