Which is why I like the idea of a sort of master-apprentice deal or training school (plug plug that Whelp "squire" idea because I'm shameless) as an explanation of where the actual training comes from when you're not cheating through use of the Azure's Soul Crystal. With the slaying of your first dragon serving as your "diploma" and thus showing that you know how to use the Dragoon skills properly, rather than just having you suddenly being able to be a blue dragon-slaying missile.
... After all, it's basically been explained that the Ishgardians totally wouldn't have taught the PC how to become a Dragoon the proper way, requiring a workaround (and the PC being the epitome of "the best at everything"). So, it stands to reason that there could totally be a "Kain's Wyrmkillin' Kollege" somewhere in their city that teaches their Whelps (plugplug) how to do it.
