Diesel8, I thought it was in this topic (if not, then one with a very similar title and content) I said I worked with some US-trained instructors (both US citizens, and Europeans) at my last instructing job. Some of those qualified for CAA CAP509 approval, which is extremely difficult. As I said, they were excellent pilots, and "completely belie any suggestion that yanks can't instruct."
(Checking back, apologies, I might have said it in the "USA trained(?) PPLs topic. I still meant it though).
The crap ones would have been crap under anyone's system.
