All of the topics in these handouts are the kind of general knowledge that you'd get in a college undergraduate chemistry program, so it would all be familiar, i.e. if you encountered it you'd know where to look up more specific information on your particular problem.
However, a lot of the databases and tools needed to do analysis, say of an unknown compound, aren't readily available to the public, it's often curated proprietary libraries of things like spectra data, for example this is a short interesting discussion of the software used to match an unknown sample to a reference in a library, which I think might now be applying AI approaches as well:
Usually you're working on some specific problem, and thus you need access to the historical chemical literature on that problem, which as often as not is hidden behind paywalls and not available on sci-hub or similar, so you need access to a university library or similar to get all the old papers (especially their materials/methods/results) on the topic. Industrial chemistry advances might not even be published over IP concerns, which I guess is somewhat like Nvidia proprietary GPU drivers.
Highly specific software and programming information is certainly a lot more accessible, everything that's highly specific in chemistry is often harder to find and/or costs money to access.
