Al,
You need to realise the history.
In the depths of antiquity, God revealed his Plan for Australian Gliding to the
Iggulden brothers and His First Commandment was "Australian Glider pilots shall
have no licences".
Thus it was and has been and shall be for ever and ever. Amen.

I've never understood the point of this. My driving instructor isn't
responsible for any stupidity on my behalf once I have a car license.
The same goes for a number of other licenses (boat, RAA etc) I hold.
Why is there seemingly no stage in between 'gliding student' and
'gliding instructor'?
Admittedly this only makes a real difference with privately owned
gliders / motorgliders. If you're flying a club glider obviously the
club can impose whatever conditions they want.
Cheers,
Al
