I'm a CRI and teach part time both inside an FTO and independently.
I've taught an NPPL(M) to NPPL(SSEA) within an FTO, and would do in the future since so far as I can tell I'd absolutely have to now.
But it's always seemed to me one of the absurdities of the system is that I can potentially add IRI / IMCRI onto my CRI (I won't, I don't consider myself an experienced enough instrument pilot), but can't teach for NQ - which actually I'd be quite comfortable doing.
