Being of Black Belt Instructor status may mean a person can teach Martial Arts classes, however, it does not mean that they can teach public self defence outside of their normal club environment regardless of how many years training they have had because there is the law, reasonable force, 3rd party perception, CCTV and what constitutes the use of a pre-emptive strike to consider. Cobra Self Defence run courses so that instructors can add to their existing skills which will then enable them to be better 'public' CMAA certified Self Defence Instructors (valid for 2 years).
