There may be (in some countries) different rules about logging flight hours in Zero-Flight-Time simulators when undergoing a specifically ZFT course. The logic is moot, but, in any case, that was not the thrust of the question. No Wannabe is likely qualify for a ZFT course in any case - by the time they are ZFT-able, they will have long since ceased to be Wannabes!
The question of logging sim time has come up often before, and usually leads to questions about whether sim time should be included in flight time in a CV. I am trying to pre-empt that line of enquiry before it happens.
