Some CASA people have been found to spread this misinformation too. Very unhelpful.
61.385 says precisely nothing by the way. Read it.
Several years ago I attended a CASA forum for Chief Pilots, a lawyer made a presentation based on the reg's. The point was made that according to the Civil Aviation Act reg's are to be interpreted on their intent and not literal reading.
The information sheets explain the intent. Although 61.385 doesn't say only an instructor can deliver training to get a pilot up to the MOS competency standard, CASR Part 61 (61.1165(e) Read it) only authorises a flight instructor rating holder to deliver the training to satisfy 61.385.
