Probably right in most cases, but it all depends on the individual. I have trained drivers that, no matter how long they spent with someone, they weren't going to have a good career. I have had others that just had the right mentality and aptitude to go on their own after a few weeks and did really well.
You got the right idea though. The key is to look, listen, and learn. Ask if you don't know. An inexperienced driver can always get a more seasoned driver to help out. The biggest downfall I have seen is a new driver trying to impress others that he/she has been at this game longer than they have really, and then they don't want to ask a simple question and learn the right way to do something. Most seasoned drivers will be more than happy to help out a new driver.
