There are many on AFF that believe Seminaries are "against the Bible." That teaching should be passed on among one's own group and teaching elders, without resourcing out to "higher education." My friend, Appy, was one of those, as is MichaelTheDisciple.
What is always missed (or forgotten) are three things:
1) The rabbinic-style training Jesus put into his own disciples (the Son of God himself). The training someone like Apostle Paul received and used.
2) The enormous gulf of time, language, culture between our time and when parts of our canon was written present an incredible challenge. To suggest it's easy is not just simplistic, it's ignorant.
3) Every generation has dimensions of learning that are filtered and shared. The Universities and scholars all have a sphere of influence. As do writers and speakers, who most are educated through a bible school. These shape culture. If we lose our investment in disciplined thinkers, we, in time, will have no bearings of biblical acumen.
Here's a link with a short video on the topic. Curious as to the thoughts on AFF.
