Kali is not beginner friendly, and while the community is great, honestly it's not the most beginner friendly either. If you don't feel comfortable installing the tools you need for your course on Ubuntu, Kali is going to give you a splitting headache. Stick with Ubuntu, learn python, install the tools as you need them and you will learn so much more.

I will second that, and add if you really NEED Kali, it’s possible to run it as a Live image (eg, off a USB stick); you don’t need to install it to use it.
https://docs.kali.org/downloading/kali-linux-live-usb-install

Doing it this way, you get better flexibility with having Kali without [potentially] destroying what’s currently on your system through trying to set up a multi-boot environment.

Bite of smaller chunks instead of trying to learn everything at once and you will be a lot happier.
