It's pretty rare that you'll need to use it, however in case you'd still like to learn it there are a few resources that can help.

This is the Lesson: https://www.chess.com/lessons/endings-openings-a-taste-of-the-middle/basic-mate-king-bishop-and-knight-vs-king

This is a classy video by Danny (13 years ago) in case you fancy the classics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ur3mVl0bdog

Let me know if these are useful.

This technique:

Forcing the king to the edge or corner to get into this pattern isn't a set method, although I never seem to have trouble when practicing it. Usually I can do it in about 36-41 moves from any random starting position of the 4 pieces when practicing it.
