This is exactly the type of education experience we should be optimizing as a society: self-study, in-depth, yet practical material geared toward leaving the student able to perform some service of value in the world.
I'm a huge fan of a broad liberal education, but many educational institutions have lost the plot. When a free PDF on the web can double your salary ability and a 50K education from the local university will leave you only in debt? The feedback loop for higher education is broken.
I'd love to see this integrated into something with more video material. In fact, if I had money for philanthropy, putting together a job-oriented free electronics course would be near the top of my list of things to do.
Side note: there are instructions for sending completed training material to the Navy to have them grade it. I wonder how many packages the Navy gets from students all over the world consuming this material and looking for a grade?
