I want to be a better teacher for my soldiers, it's something that I'm really passionate about. I know that the Basic Instructor Course is geared toward adult education techniques and seems like a great course to sharpen my skills as an NCO. But, is it worth going to if I have no intention of becoming an SGL for an NCOES or a schoolhouse?

Yes, go. Good way to get a teaching/instructor gig, especially for a government contract

There are really no bad courses in the Army to take. I took the Instructor course as an E4 in the Army and though the SQI isn't on my ERB (hooray National Guard) it helped me while instructing junior Soldiers down the road. The instructor course actually lays out a very solid, science proven, practicum for teaching new subjects to new people. Every single instructor of every single school has to certify in it, and every single school follows its training model. It has reliable and proven results, so go for it

1: Never turn down a school
2: Unless its an illegal order, never say no, but do say what it will take, cost or need to say yes.
3:Never argue with the boss in public, but by all means tell him he is mistaken, wrong, misunderstanding, or a flipping moron as needed in privet
4: Few will remember how much effort you put into making a mission work, but everyone will remember your failure...what do you want to be remembered for?
5: Never turn down a school

It worked for me
