I believe this is in-line with what Ron has mentioned, Leon is the only IT on the Meg which means a visit to US is required for x-over.

2 other manufacturers are considering following suit to help raise the bar to where it should be. There is an increasing trend toward the wrong end of the instructor quality spectrum apparently.

I'm all for it personally as I have a pet hate; self certified instructors using loop holes and lax agencies. The argument that I can instruct on brand 'x' therefore I can teach on brand 'y' even without doing a users course doesn't cut it with me. It is no small wonder some of the truly basic questions get asked on here by seemingly certified divers.
