I was shocked - nay, horrified to learn that his motivation was so he could earn money by taking people to race-courses and 15hrs into the course had no idea whatsoever what type he was flying. In fact it seemed there were two types which were somewhat different, I suspect R22 and Colibri - but he hadn't a clue.
I can only wonder at the quality of the "school" he is learning at.
