there are actually two questions in there, the first one whether SWC courses
are suitable for library patrons, (i would not think so, but then, i have not
attended the training, nor a workshop yet) 

the second whether the SWC training is suitable for the person asking.
that seems more likely, as the person is a science student first of all, and i
believe the training should be adaptable to create courses for different 
audiences.

but this also implies the question whether it is acceptable for someone to take
the SWC training if they don't intent to become an SWC teacher.

greetings, martin.
