The instructor I had for my CFI was great, and I guess I just want to do as well as he did for my students. Honestly though, what I was taught during my CFI training, and what the checkride was like have very few similarities to the 'real world' experiences that I've had actually instructing students. Maybe I'm over simplifying it a bit much, but I feel like teaching a CFI applicant is really just transitioning them to the right seat and ensuring they can perform to commercial standards from that seat, as well as ensuring that they are knowledgeable enough and can explain their way through maneuvers and ground lessons.

I'm not personally too excited to take on the task of CFI applicants, especially since the program requires students to get their CFI, even though most probably never have any desire or intention to actually instruct.
