Having the word certified is a bit redundant because someone who is
not certified cannot act as a flying instructor legally.

Its not redundant at all. I'm not a CFI and there is nothing that says I
can't teach someone how to fly. They can't log it as instruction or count
the hours towards the requirement but I can still teach them.

If it were against the law this would be a VERY quite newsgroup.
