It doesn't deal with hardware wallets, I find them to be just a distraction until you really understand the fundamentals of seed phrases/private keys, transactions, etc. Not to mention that hardware wallets are all so different and change constantly.
I've helped a number of people through the exercises. The most motivated ones tend to be older people, whose kids are pushing them to learn and invest.
