instructors (B1, A2, A1) are "checked" annually for their instructor competence check. Junior instructors B2 (in their first few hundred instructor launches) are checked every 90 days by a local flying supervisor.
although I'm sure there are many who have silver C and many more who have elements of the silver most likely unrecorded. It's fairly irrelevant to the area in which the VGS operate of circuits, landings and local area soaring.
