The Grob 120TP (turbo prop) named the 'Prefect' is used by the RAF for Elementary Flying Training so if it's OK for them it should be OK for any ab initio pilot.
Mind you ,considering there was a previous 'Prefect' in the RAF it being a glider, I wish they'd chosen another name.
I flew the Prefect TX Mk 1 many times and it was great fun, my first single seater.
