Yes, the Mountain Safety training system was better. I think the Police's problem with it was that in some areas personalities became an issue (probably for good reason though) and the 'lack of control' of various things like funding and cost were made into bigger issues than they needed to be.
I don't think the online test is a good substitute - we see it at the range occasionally where a newly licenced owner turns up with a brand new firearm and running on no practical experience and a few theories imparted by Youtube.
