With over 50 years and some 9,000 hours instructing I agree with what has been said. A post PPL aerobatic course including full spinning will enhance your handling skills at the right time.
Looking back I would estimate that for an hour logged as Exercise 11 Spinning you actually managed less than a minute in autorotation with the other 59 spent mainly in climbing back up to a reasonable entry height along with the taxi, takeoff, rejoin, approach and landing plus a return to the parking slot. This when the student was almost certainly pre-solo and with between 5 and 15 hours total. For many the terror induced was totally counterproductive.
A fair proportion of students gave up the idea of becoming an aviator at the prospect of having to learn how to spin the aircraft when that was mandatory. Ridiculous when virtually all modern light aircraft will recover from the early stages of any spin by letting go the controls.
