And there lies the problem 😕
An airline pilot /Fighter pilot or any "Air" pilot for that matter is trained by experienced ( As in he Has flown himself for many years in all aspects or scenerios which then gives him the knowledge to pass on to raw recruits ) personnel.
You don’t expect someone teaching you to just have textbook knowledge of flying a radio controlled airplane and then to find he has never himself flown at night or in fog 😯
Or only to have flown little Cessna planes on a fine blue sky day to know what to do when there is zilch viz and wind turbulance in a Boeing 747 !
Okay lets get away from pilots all together 🙂
How about a surgeon or Fireman or sailor !
You can have an experienced person with thirties behind him but does not have the right teaching skills or " Team player" attitude to teach 😕
Baring in mind that our industry IS specialised work and quite expensive if you "Get it wrong " ! 🙄

So who taught you lostboy or did you just wake up one day and poof in a puff of smoke you could fly a ROV. You seem to be putting two points of view across are you as your avatar suggests just hunting for someone to flame or do you actually have an opinion on what makes a good instructor?, did you have a good instructor?, where did you learn?

tc1 is right in part but teaching is a lot more than just knowing how to stand up in front of your peers. There is the course structure, designing courses, keeping up with the latest developments, background knowledge (which should include what you teach) and the ability to adjust your teaching style depending on the people you are teaching.

So " Who trains the Instructors ! " we are just born in a puff of smoke!
