I took his class and really enjoyed it. By the end of it you'll be confident with KiCAD and likely be working on your own collection of parts and footprints (e.g. https://github.com/pepaslabs/KiCADParts). He also gives beginners good insight into how to read datasheets, how to select parts on digikey, etc. Making boards like this will be easy for you: https://github.com/pepaslabs/ProgrammableLM317

Edit: Also, supporting any of his efforts makes you feel good, considering all he has contributed to the EE hobbyist community (contextualelectronics.com, kicad.info, the Amp Hour podcast, etc.). He and Dave Jones (EEVBlog) are the superstars of the hobbyist community.
