You don't actually land on instruments even on the IR. Full instrument landings are for when you get onto much bigger aircraft.

The instrument approaches you will fly will depend on where you train. At a big airfield you will have precision (instrument landing system) and non precision (eg. Locating beacon) approaches. Smaller airfields may just have non precision approaches.

The circuits you will fly will be very different from your usual ones and may involve following ATC instructions or flying a procedure to track back to a beacon.

Have fun. It is a good course and well worth the money.
