Mate, you should have full trust in whoever you're training with. The hours you have flown should be counted toward your licence unless some serious dodgy **** has been going on.
When training consider cost, connections and reputation. It's a shame to see people have to bull**** qualifications. Must be damn embarrasing for the school, but it's the individual that's ****** up.
Flying is a great career, soldier on mate, and best of luck.
Cheers.
