A colleague once told a co-op that it is easy to teach anyone (who has an ability and desire to learn) PHD-level subjects; so long as the material taught is kept "narrow" enough.
He then did exactly that by teaching the co-op the specific parts of some complex sonar material that the co-op needed to do his job.
I was both impressed and enlightened.
