As mentioned by maa5444, Databricks community edition is a good way to learn Spark as you get a free 6GB node. If you want to focus more on Cloudera/Hortonworks, I would just spin up VMs in AWS or your preferred cloud. The costs of running test nodes (say 32/64 GB ram 100GB disks) are not super high if your are economical with shutting them down when not in use.
