It is not designed that way. There is a need for instructors who are proficient at relaying the material to their students.
'Bout hit it on the head there...
What the student (newcomer) needs to absolutely understand is there is a lot more to learn and become more proficient at in this community, and that there is a plethra of individuals here, and elsewhere that are available to pick their brains (so to speak), for advice, direction, demonstration...
And even for folks who teach, there is always room to learn...
My biggest take away for my CHL class was how much I didn't know. I was pleased with my instructor but I had already realized that it wasn't possible for me to learn all that I needed for even a 10 hour class. This is probably because I was starting with a lot less than most people on this forum
