DB - I have pointed out that I meet compliance rules and regs that are every bit as demanding in the mil as they are outside. My emphasis is that a good instructor must be flexible in his approach to each student and that rigid adherence to a prescribed format doesn't always get the best out of every student.
I used to emphasise that the QHI course was a method of instruction, not a legislative process that couldn't be adapted to differing situations/students/instructors.
You impose your personality on the method of instruction basic techniques and adapt those basics to suit the subject/discipline/level of student that you are teaching.
It isn't rocket science but neither is it easy or formulaic - it requires, empathy, intelligence, flexibility and selflessness.
