Haven't bought the Centaur myself, but I have a few of Kurt's other tutorials, and they're something I'd happily recommend, but it's all about habits and workflow. But I'd say that if you're completely new to organic modelling, you should have no problem picking up Kurt's techniques.
You might wanna have a look at the free Cartoon Dog tutorial to see how he works...
