Previous experience for CCR training?

Tried to search for this but didn't find it so hopefully this has not been discussed thousand times already.

I am personally strong believer that it is the instructor who makes the training good and not the agency so I have a very open mind for different training organizations. That said, I find it bit peculiar that the pre requisities for the CCR training varies so much between the organizations.

Some (atleast NAUI and ANDI to my knowledge) require only basic nitrox course, example the PADI EANx that I have myself while others require some form of Advanced Nitrox training (IANTD CCR for example).

Also there is difference between various forms of Advanced nitrox courses, example if you compare IANTD Advanced nitrox and TDI one...

So what are you (experienced ccr divers) thinking of the various training organizations and the requisities? Any recommendations?

If more precise information is needed as for what unit, I am thinking about Sport KISS in this case and I am currently diving with single tank hogarthian setup and DON'T plan to go for doubles. I decided pretty early on that when I need doubles for dives, it is time for rebreather instead :P
