Speed of Internships | LRH vs COB
LRH — Founder of Dianetics and Scientology
Under LRH, once course is complete, it’s time for the student to really put in the time and effort necessary to perfect his auditing skills:
“When [the Intern] has turned out pcs, pcs, pcs, pcs, 5, 6, 8, 10 hours a day for weeks and weeks and is a total success as a Dianetic Auditor, he can go on up….
“Now it begins all over again. Flubs Cramming, midnight oil, audit audit cramming audit audit new word clear new drill work audit audit audit audit 5, 6, 8, 10 hours a day. Now he is a IV or VI Auditor.”

With COB’s perfect auditors now being produced by the Academy, LRH’s system of Interning can be short-cutted:
“From now on, Internships will take just 2 weeks to complete. I guarantee it.”
On the release of the Golden Age of Tech; May, 1996
In truth, the exact opposite has occurred. Interviews with dozens of Interns throughout the world show Internships taking longer than ever, with the average taking about a year, and in some instances, as many as three.
There have also been a disproportionately high number of auditors-in-training routed off their Internships as “unqualed” this after being trained to perfection in the Academy.
