The syllabus includes competency in "Avoid Spin".
I would generally agree with that sentiment, when teaching spinning to new instructors I tend to approach it from the angle that if it's unintentionally got to this point you've already let the situation get out of hand but you might as well come back to the school with egg on your face rather than in a box. I would say aerobatics instructing is a slightly different kettle of fish but I would certainly expect anyone doing that to have practiced many many spins!
