That's pretty much the rundown for any class you plan to play as.
I will say this though: Starting as Artificer is kind of "meh" skills-wise.
You get a free Logi loadout with a free rep tool which is alright but the Arbiter (sniper) gets better shield base starter skills and the Sentinel (heavy) gets better armor base starter skills and a free heavy and forge gun BPO starter outfit.
The only question is what's more ideal for you to start with personally. If it's only the free rep gun then go for Artificer, if it's Shield or Armor base skills go for one of the other two.
Honestly, the [SMG] skill for logis is just an insult, as if they expect us to either be complete team support or just die. |

Armor Repairer (L module) and related skill Armor Repair Systems. Many a-logi's best friend. Speculation that the skill also increases your repair rate with your tool as well though I'm not sure personally.
You'll want all the skills for both eventually to maintain survivability but the passive armor skill is open from scratch.
The passive shield increase skill (Shield Control) is locked by many prerequesits but the Arbiter gives you 3 levels of Shield Boost Systems and you need 4 to get Shield Control unlocked.

It's all up to you... I spec'd Arbiter but only because I didn't care about my starter skills.
Honestly, I have no trouble with SP caps and ISK so personally I kind of wish I'd gone Sentinel just to get that free Heavy Suit and Forge AV suit but that's a really small benefit compared to the best starting shield skill set in the game on the Arbiter (in my opinion).
You get a wasted Sniper Rifle skill but the Artificer SMG skill is a waste too.
If I had to say for anything, unless you're going to be a heavy and need a constant free militia grade suit, the Arbiter is the best starting class in the game just for the strong skill base.

Check 'em out.
