Fatigue, you're probably right mate and there may not be a solution. I just think the money outlayed warrants both good instruction and experience. It's been a while (not too long) since I did my training but I still attribute a lot of my home baked flying approach and airmanship to a good instructor with loads of industry experience. Where are you imabell, what do you wreckon?. Someone like NC would be about the level you'd want before an IR hey?
