Of course not, dive instruction is a business. Instructors will almost
always push another class and it's not always the correct course a
student should take.

Do your homework, read as much as you can about the diving you'd like to
study, don't rely on an instructor to tell you which courses to take.
Don't get me wrong, there are a few really good instructors that can
guided you through this in an honest way and will tell you if they think
you're not ready for a certain class. The rest only care about selling
cert cards. 

This isn't like taking an OW class, make your decisions carefully.
