The dealer requests a check through a national database to see if you have been convicted of a felony or otherwise legally prohibited from owning a firearm (mental illness, etc).
You do not need to register it.
You do not need to take lessons, but it is strongly advisable to do so. The NRA has training programs. it is also a good idea to look up what laws govern the way in which you are able to carry and transport them and where they are prohibited in your state (and others should you ever travel with it).

Can you find out when background checks were done when you bought a gun?
Any time you purchase a firearm from a dealer, Federal law requires that the dealer must run a background check at that time. The exception is that certain states issue a concealed weapons license that ALSO requires a background check- proof of licensing takes the place of a background check. So if you bought a gun from a dealer, you have had a background check made.
