It's a great method for people who need to see their abstract concepts visually (that would be me, then), although I found some people really struggled with anything that wasn't a list of menus to memorise. Mind you, I wasn't a trypical trainer. Instead of working through all the submenus, I simply used to teach RTFS ... read the f***ing screen. It's amazing how many people don't.
