It depends what stage of training you are at. Ideally one flight a day until solo, increasing to say 2 flights daily, 5 days a week (5/7).
In the IR phase, one event a day ideally, or perhaps 3 events over two days (5/7). Trying at this stage to 2 events daily (5/7) is not recommended. Think about the concept of OSMOSIS, and the rate at which you can occur. The brain is like a sponge, where a gentle 'drip drip' is best for absorption.

The Operation manual will specify just what can be achieved.

Establshments who will have "bitten off more than they can chew" by having more customers (students) than they can cope with, are likely to damage their hard earned reputation. Self funding Customers (white tails) are put to the back of the queue, as the airline students have dates to complete training with probably penalties clauses for late completion.

Read the contract carefully and be aware how invariably it is heavily weighted in favour of the ATO so that when things don't quite work out as anticipated, your redress can be limited, unless a serious breach occurs.
