Yeah that's a good thought.

I'd say OP can probably do it a lot better and cheaper by building his own benches. I don't know what he exactly wants to do, but an introductory bench including an Oscilloscope, a multimeter, a dedicate power source, a function generator, a soldering station, a desoldering station and a logical analyzer is going to be a lot more affordable, especially if OP is willing to ask around for second handed equipments.

Then OP can take a look of MIT open course and similar materials to find labs to work on.
