4-5 day ppl exam courses

This purely to get some thought and opinion.....
You see a lot of courses offered for ‘ppl theory all 9 exams passed in 5 days including RT practical’ normally costing around a grand for the service. Just to clarify, I did all mine with an ATO over a period of weeks with self study in between classroom sessions and exams a couple of years ago.

These fast track services seem woefully inadequate to me and I fail to see how an ab-initio student can possibly learn and understand the required theory across all 9 subjects in just 5 days. Anyone can learn the answers to the question banks to pass the exams but ALL the required material in 5 days?

My opinion is that these services undermine the importance and requirements of learning the required theory for the PPL. I get that the ppl syllabus is considerably less in content than cpl/atpls but even so, the content and learning requirements deserve more than five days crammed all in and should treated with equal importance and diligence.

Thoughts please.
