"It seems, then, that the area which needs reform is at the ARTCC's. Find out which ARTCC's are still clinging to the \"old ways\" and bring them into line with the new paradigm brought about by the Academy. This should help get rid of redundant tests. \n  \n\n  \nBefore you choose to avoid certain airspace, I would recommend you send feedback to the ARTCC about your experience with them. Then they will know what to change instead of just seeing people avoid them and not knowing why. \n  \n\n  \nIt is important that new controllers operate local procedures correctly, and this does require some supervision (No jumping right in). \n  \nAs for the second part of what you wrote, maybe you should consider switching ARTCC's. It might more important to gain controller experience than to wait for an instructor who can accommodate you. Once you gain some experience in another ARTCC, it should be easier to transfer to and learn the SOP's of the ARTCC at which you are currently attempting to train. \n"
