I wonder why he is still using 17th Edition EICR.
On a side note, to NAPIT, as a tutor I am forever trying to get students to use correct terminology and then I see "main earthing conductor" and "figure of 8 test" on this document.

I blame C&G courses which convince people they will become competent to carry out EICRs.

That's not the fault of C&G, more the companies that deliver the courses who falsely promise. There is actually a declaration for students to sign that they will not be electricians when they finish but improvers/mates

I think the Report the OP has been given is a classic example. Whilst we may argue Code designation, that Report contains some statements which are not justifiable.

" EICR courses" should only be offered to practising electricians

" EICR courses" should only be offered to practising electricians

I always use grommets but many don’t; on their reasoning that grommets aren’t required if the sheath is in the back box.. Grommets only being for the installation process

That a worrying statement.

I think I disagree with nearly all of those observations

Ditto. CBA to go through them all now, but another electrrician who doesn't know how to properly inspect and categorise an installation. Or know what "low voltage" means.
