Nope. My nephew went through the school and knows nothing about anything. His instrument fkying skills are non-existent and he had problems with basics such as recognising wich runway would be used depending on the wind. NDB's? what are those. RMI use... etc. Quite awful actually. And he was not the only one. I met a few other fellows that where having same sort of problems.
My guess is that you are thought to obtain a license and very little else. Information is however available and one can patch up lacks of knowledge by some extra studies.
Just be careful as you might be up for a big suprise when coming to the real world, especially UK.
