Depends on what you define as 'good'. The SA thing started in the airline industry and their training via simulators does a very good job of teaching commercial pilots SA. The airline industry seems to do a very good job. The LEA also trains SA and they do a good job but not as good as the airline industry. This is because the conditions a law enforcement officer works in are not as controlled. Same with firemen.
The military has spent a fortune trying to figure out how to train SA but the results indicate that although some cues can be learned and actually put into practice pretty well, how the individual chooses the cue or cues and prioritizes them is so conditional that the individual must live in the actual environment before he figures out which cues are the ones he most needs to deal with and when.
That boils down about fifty studies I have read on training SA.
