It would be funny if some PCA regions apparently didn't do just that with some people... CVR's program takes about 18 months, 10-15 DE's at full cost (weeds out the non-dedicated) with scattered mentoring, a 4 hour classroom session, and at least 6 days as a provisional instructor with a student followed by one last check out ride before you get a red band and your Instructor card (and hat!). As much of a PITA it was I think they most likely have the most comprehensive program out there and produce the best instructors because of it..

My main reason for eventually going down the instructor road is to give back and produce more drivers to keep the sport going. That, and the umbrella girls.

Not sure there is an excuse for driving with so little margin that that outcome is even remotely possible...
