What skills are overwhelmingly easier to learn in institutionalized context?
(e.g math wouldn't count, because even if motivation is circumvented as an issue in institutions, you should be theoretically to study everything at home. Neither would necessarily the handling of some kind of lab equipment, if there was some clear documentation available for you, and (assuming that you took the efforts to remember it) if the transfer to practice was straightforward (so pushing buttons and changing settings would be straightforward, while the precise motions of carving a specific kind of motive into wood would be less so))

Heh.
Adjective: institutionalized
of or relating to something that has been established as an institution
It is very difficult to get bureaucracies to abandon their institutionalized practices.
of or relating to someone who has been committed to an institution, such as a prison or an insane asylum
Once a potential employer learns that you've been institutionalized, you can forget about getting the job.
In practice, learning to handle certain lab equipment outside of an institutional context is sometimes hard because it's much easier to break expensive stuff if you don't have someone looking over your work the first few times you do something. Of course, you qualified your above statement quite well, so you haven't said anything incorrect. :)
