I can vouch for that. Even fixed bikes for former military aircraft mechanics who couldn't figure out how to change a tire but worked on complex life or death mechanical jobs in the military and some graduated to inspectors. If they can learn I think most people can even if they don't have any confidence in themselves. The best learning tool is hands on experience.
