Engine Rebuilding Lessons?

Hello Everyone,
So I've only ever rebuilt one engine and that was with help from my Uncle (great guy, just a redneck) and we didn't do anything fancy. Hell, we didn't even plastigauge the new crank and bearings.

Part of my problem is I don't have anyone to show me how to rebuild an engine and do it the "right" way. I was looking on craigslist and found this guy who offers a course for $350, and you buy the parts. I'm not looking to make a monster race engine or anything, but should be getting another vehicle on Sunday and would like to freshen up the engine over the winter.

Long story short....would it be a good idea to talk to this guy?
