Training to Processing Ratio | LRH vs COB
LRH — Founder of Dianetics and Scientology
“Students disseminate. Pcs don’t.
“A boom depends on training, not processing.
“The high auditing fee is maintained to deter pcs while shunting them into the Academy.
“When our Academies did less business and orgs concentrated on HGCs, gross income declined.”
HCO PL 3 December 1964R
Booming an Org Through Training
(OEC Vol 2, p. 68)

“Sign up more students than pcs.”

Booming an Org Through Training
(OEC Vol 2, p. 68)
“A PC RARELY DISSEMINATES. ONLY AN AUDITOR DISSEMINATES.
“Thus an org which makes more pcs than auditors will tend to collapse.”

Why Something New
(OEC Vol 2, p. 553)
“You can dawdle around with theory outside an Academy, read books and so on. But in a Academy only can you LEARN certain things, and not all the books in the world will teach them.
“All training should be of student individuals who will audit people.”

David Miscavige — SELF-APPOINTED CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD, RTC
In looking over the lists of “Graduates and Completions” in various org magazines from the past 13 years (1996-2009), it was found that virtually every Class V and Sea Org org (with the possible exceptions of C.C. Int and ASHO) have been selling far more processing than training.
Magazines from 27 different orgs in the U.S. and Canada were studied. The result: Class V orgs had few Pro TRs, Upper Indoc, or Pro Metering completions in any given year, and often no Academy Level or NED students at all. Interns were an even rarer commodity, with the bulk of Class V orgs averaging none.
Of the relatively few students who were doing their auditor training, over half were found to be previously trained Class IVs or above, now on retreads as part of their Golden Age TIP.
Obviously these stats have been modified somewhat by the release of the Basics in mid-2007 and the order that all Scientologists route onto them immediately. Even this is misleading, however, since the overwhelming majority of LRH training references emphasize auditortraining. The Basics is a course of pure theory, with no auditing or other specific skills taught.
