Yes, the PFS instructors list hasn't been updated in literally about five years...
You can't be awarded a full instructorship unless you have trained personally with Paul for a good amount of time, been in good standing with him and PFS, and have demonstrated your ability to teach the material.
Paul decides who is teacher material and who isn't.
How long one trains with Paul is somewhat dependent on the person's ability to teach, fight, demonstrate the material, and comprehend it. A lot of Paul's instructors have come from heavy martial art backgrounds in their own right.
Me personally, I recieved my Phase one instructorship from Paul in 1998, and was awarded my Full Instructorship in 2003.
So about 5 years for me as well.
