If a govt person is going oversees and needs to learn a language, or a sports team train for the season, or medical school, optimimun would be concentrated.
And for flying, the student pilot has to pass the same written test and flight test no matter how long or short their training is.
The week long PIC inst course for instance again proves the value of concentrated training, though I am sure it can be overdone.

Hi Bill,

Not sure if you were referring to me but I agree with you.

EAA's SP Academy being a concentrated 3 week coarse is actually one of the things I'm most interested in. Three weeks of living and breathing aviation training sounds fantastic to me, especially with my prior negative flight trading experience (long drawn out training coupled with limited flying time).
