Stalls yes, spins no. Uprt consisted of closing our eyes whilst the instructor put the aircraft into an abnormal attitude, we opened our eyes and had to recover (you'd find the aircraft pitched up steeply in a 45 deg turn then wings level, nose down stuff). Engine failures on go around are also done.
Though if this person in question was an MPL student then they may never have done the last part, i understand they never fly an mep.
There was some interesting UPRT during type rating though. Those new sims are capable of some very aggressive and sudden scenarios to say the least
