As for spin training, again it is not mandatory. Some do (oaa i know did aerobatic uprt in the usa) full spins etc and others just cover stalls and other unusual attitude recoveries - i myself never did a spin as I previously mentioned (CPL/IR). We covered how to recover were it to occur, but didn’t do one. To be fair though i don’t know anyone even from other schools who did actually fully spin in am aircraft, it’s a serious situation to be playing with.
FTE Jerez have conducted MPL since 2010. DA42 flying is part of that syllabus together with UPRT on the T67 / Robin

Spin training is a matter of routine provided the briefings and teaching are robust
