It is an interesting one that Part-FCL specifies that the TK for a CB-IR course shall comprise instruction to the IR(A) level, however the AMC to FCL shows a number of differing areas - hence why an IR holder who has completed CB-IR exams rather than IR or ATPL exams has their IR endorsed with the restriction of CB.
Sadly a number of ATOs still train purely for the approaches likely to be flown on "local test routes". The advent of mandatory PBN training/testing should go some way to correcting this, the majority of IR prof checks I conduct at the moment include a RNP approach as a first for the candidate
