The CT self-improvement section strongly suggests something like 1.5 skills possible per term.
The sabbatical is a pay your money/burn one term aging/ get Skill-2 thing, but it's a one-time event. The others, weapon or other skills or PD, require diligent effort and works out to something less then 2 skills per term on average.
The Instruction mechanic gives you that quick skill boost, can explain both the service + promotion and LBB4+ numbers, but outside service that could (and should) be expensive and tough to get a second class if you fail that skill roll. It should also be exponentially more difficult to get an instructor that can get you to Skill-2+.
One compromise- perhaps the regular skill role plus one free personal development roll?
