Iam both a technical instructor and former BCAR Sect L license holder since the 1980's after completeing military service. Having spent a number of years delivering PT147 type course it is so true that the quality is declining. I have witnessed instructors complaining that course have been chopped too much only to be told that the company has to do it to remain competitive. Extra pressure is brought to the instructor and we work in a 'results are what counts' enviroment. The students are being robbed by the bean counters and not supported by the NAA's. This side of the industry is in a shocking mess caused by financial considerations only. I am now very selective which assignments I accept for obvious reasons.
