Answers:
You need around $2,500+ to buy equipment first if you don't have any.

mixer/turntables/headphones/sp...

go to http://www.topdjgear.com/ and look at the DJ packages (great prices)

You will also need to know clubs/pubs/that preferably play that type of music(for the Electronic music mostly)

For training its all about learning the skill of mixing tracks together effectively to sound like one large track which could take months or years(depends on the person)

good luck,
