While instructor training emphasizes teaching technique in a controlled environment, guiding usually involves leading people in a variety of conditions. The most challenging situations I have encountered have always been in guiding, not instructing. Students usually know what is to be expected of them in a class. Clients on a trip may be asked to handle conditions that were unexpected. (ie: weather, surf etc.) We teach both. The instructor is much easier to train than the guide.
