I think a lot of the forward-looking clubs do offer the courses mentioned where they have FIs with the skills needed. Even then though, uptake is not great in my experience. My guess is that unless people can see a need for having those 'badges' (e.g. they want to fly in cloud or explore farm strips etc), they won't do the course. Just learning is not enough of a motivation for a lot of folks.

Of course there are also a lot of PPLs who just want to fly without the 'pressure' of an instructor next to them. Courses aren't going to work there...
