Dave,
I can't really say you are wrong or right, but remember: you are leaving a
gap in their education… but seeing that you have only two days to do a
beginner's course, no wonder! You have mitigating circumstances.
We teach as much as we can, and we are as COMPLETE as you can imagine.
In our plans at the ATC the beginners level is a full 30 hours or four
days.. double what you have. And they get a taste of everything they need
to start with. The minimum I would teach a beginner's level is 20 hours..
anything lower than that I would consider only an introduction or I would
have to leave out some stuff… and I'm against that kind of compromise.
Back to you: what did you decide with grips?
