Question Night Qualification

Just getting a little confused about the NQ(H)

According to Lasors (quote below) for a NQ course 10 hours instrument and 5 hours flying need to be done.

Why is it then there are some schools in the UK offering a NQ(H) course for only 5 hours instrument and 5 hours night?

Answers welcome I am a little confused.
Thanks Chester



LASORS QUOTE

"The main features of the PPL(H) Night Qualification
Course are:
• 5 hours theoretical knowledge instruction;
• 10 hours dual helicopter instrument instruction -
this is in addition to any instrument instruction
completed prior to the course. The holder of an
IR(A) is credited 5 hours of this training;
• 5 hours helicopter night training, including 3 hours
dual instruction and 5 solo night circuits. Each
circuit shall include a take-off and landing.
• The course must be completed within 6 months."
