It is complete possible.
I would agree with Acanthos, we try to not put labels on pedestals. That said, Knight Lieutenant is the rank in where members are allowed to begin teaching apprentices. To reach Knight Lieutenant one must first become a sponsored member, complete the IDP, complete an apprenticeship and interview for knighthood, sponsor three members until they become squires, complete the lessons on teaching and earn all required merit badges.
It’s a log road.
There are many other ways to be of service as well. We also have a guild hall where people with expertise share their knowledge with others. And there is a place for those that wish to share sermons, which are normally posted by knights or ordained members. We also have gatherings where we share our knowledge in person and classes can be arranged there as well.

I understand your frustration and point of view.
And I know you have been around quite a long time; because, I have seen you at other sites for years.
There are a few reasons I decided to go with the structure that I did. First, with the information age being what it is, there are a lot of charlatans out there. (Charlatan, a person falsely claiming to have a special knowledge or skill; a fraud.) I am personally aware of a field that was discredited due to this issue; and, many good personal coaches have felt the repercussion of the actions of a few. One way of fighting that is to delay individuals from spreading what they will until their knowledge base has been proven.
Next, when most people go somewhere they naturally associate anything they find there as representative of that place or their beliefs. And places are often held accountable, even if only in public opinion, for what goes on in their walls or group. And disclaimers and notes and efforts to disavow seem to make no difference. Seeing how are ability to function in a charitable capacity as a group will depend in part on our reputation I have no desire to risk that or chance jeopardizing it.
Lastly, being that the members here do have commonality, in basic ideology, moral standing and community desire, I wanted to make sure that anyone whom teaches here has at least a basic understanding of our core principles, agrees with them and will promote them. That they will be a fine representative of our Order/Organization and have the basic skills covered in how to “teach” which is covered under advanced lessons of the Individual Development Program (IDP).
But don’t forget what I mentioned earlier, we do have guild halls where people with expertise can share their knowledge with others. Building a class on how to do something or a philosophical debate club (just throwing out ideas) is permitted.
