These courses still exist, of course. However, the timing of these courses presents certain challenges. These courses aren't offered at the start of a member's career. Instead, they're provided when they become necessary for a promotion. At that point, we send the member to take courses. On the one hand, this delays their career advancement, which obviously creates some resentment. On the other hand, the courses focus on test‑taking, and not necessarily on the actual day‑to‑day use of the language with subordinates or other team members. In my opinion, that's where the issue lies.
Having the classification on file is one thing. However, having the capacity to really integrate bilingualism into day‑to‑day activities will make all the difference.
