Smile imc instructing

There are a lot less students around who seem to want to do the IMC rating for the following reasons -
1. It is no longer a requirement for a prospective CPL student to hold an IMC rating. (unlike the BCPL)
2.In these days of GPS it seems a lot of people would rather spend money on a good GPS and stay low level.
3.The IMC rating is not easy for your average PPL who only flies occasionaly, a lot of students don't complete it.
Just my own point of view, 4 years ago I did about 8 IMC's a year, last year just 1.
