Not pontificating, merely saying that it's the holier than thou attitude that puts myself and many others off.
My personal feeling is that as a charity of volunteers it won't carry as much clout for me as advanced instruction from DSA certified instructors will as the quality assurance procedures won't be as robust.
As for the point about knee down, fairly certain that isn't one of the approved procedures required for test, whereas machine control and correct positioning are.
If someone wants to get their knee down on the road, they will attempt it irrespective of any training, advanced or otherwise.
To step up onto the pontification step now, I believe mindset and experience are the key points here.
The IAM give you the ability to tap the experience of others, as well as providing the chance to gain experience.
Back to the putting miles in thing.
