Big-Windy, well said.
The CRMI Core Course is entirely geared around providing would be CRMI's with the skill set to become a competent facilitator.
The CAA have estimated that it takes a CRMI five years to become a competent facilitator.
Following on from that, CRM is not a subject that, after an initial crew course at company indcution, should be "taught"; it should be facilitated. The crew know the answers, it is the CRMI's job to chair the discussion to drag them out of the group discussion. That said, if the aims of the session aren't being pulled out that way then yes, an element of teaching will have to be conducted.
We are on the cross over between 5th and 6th generation CRM now. It has taken over 25 years for NASA's initial idea to be so ingrained into airline training that it can be taken seriously enough for the ultimate aim of Threat and Error Management (TEM) to be an actual syllabus.
TEM is the crux of all the CRM skills you will learn.
Over the last 25 years or so, CRM lost its way slightly in a sort of "lets all be nice to each other and hold hands to solve the problem" way. THIS IS NOT WHAT CRM IS ABOUT. CAP 737, as far as I am aware, does not have this as a definition!
CRM is all about flight safety and NOT necessarily being nice to people. It just so happens that a by-product of being nice to people is (more often than not) productive problem solving.
So, for all you line pilots out there, just remember: CRM's primary concern is flight safety, however that is acheived.
