I am qualified to teach the Instructor rating in Canada. The first 5 hours of the instructor course I teach is a job interview. If I do not think you will be a good instructor (ability plus attitude plus work ethic) I will fire you....there can be no other way as I take the responsibilty of producing a new instructor very seriously.
