I'm not an observer and to date haven't done coaching. I'm interested in exploring the issue because I feel there is merit in it from an associate PoV. As a result, I think that:
(a) you're overlooking the failure rate of IAM tuition because of how it is performed; that includes those who drop out, those who fail the exam, and those who jump through the test hoop successfully but do not adopt any significant proportion of what they're taught long term.
Apologies to Nick (Mr C-W) but that strikes a chord with me.
I dropped out of the IAM almost immediately I joined, because I couldn't go along with the approach being deployed at that time.
The other point I'm conscious of is being advised by numerous people to 'do the course, pass the IAM test, and then just drive to suit yourself afterwards', and that just didn't seem right to me.
