“The difference between my academy and the others in Virginia is that most of the bail enforcement schools are taught by instructors who have been stuck in the classroom for years and have forgotten what it is actually like to be a bail enforcement agent.”

I think they meant to say bounty hunter.... bail bondsmen generally only track their own skips... at least the ones I know... uuhhhh.... ok.... the instructor that teaches the classes I am familiar with... always has experienced agents sitting in the classes and interacting with the students... and the ones he uses are very experienced and can offer a great amount of instruction and real life scenarios to the class.
BTW... IMHO, the instructors primary job is to get the student licensed. Real life scenarios experienced by other licensed agents who have been in the field for years is an added feature that "may" provide a feel for what he might experience.
Nothing teaches better than OJT and that cannot be taught in a classroom. Books can teach general procedures but nothing can really prepare him for that moment he steps into the street... other than stepping into the street....
Most of the so called "bounty hunting videos" that are view-able on YouTube are not what I would refer to as 'instructional'... maybe... "how not to"...
My thoughts are.... when I see a purported instructor... fixin' to open a "how to class" and he is pictured holding an AR.... wearing a bullet proof vest and obviously putting forth a particular image... I just shake my head and walk away... and especially when he describes his classes as "real life with no script"...
The second line in my signature probably says much about the learning experience.... IMHO
