Another mate of mine is a Casa ATO and flew with him 15 hours later said he was the best pilot out of YBAF at CPL level he has flown with in 15 years.
Well said, pbwhi0.
A common misunderstanding by students is that a 150hr course will only take 150hrs to complete. This is entirely up to the individual's commitment, frequency of lessons and aptitude to name but a few factors. It should always be explained that as the syllabus is competency based, you don't just pay money and get a guaranteed license.
The industry has a standard required to be met. To the contrary, if a school just signed off your license without the required ability you would expect action to be taken against them when you planted yourself and your pax.

J's mate paid his money and was trained (by J's own admission) to an exceptional standard. What's the problem???
A reference like that as quoted by the ATO is worth the time it took to get.
