You could study and complete the PPL syllabus very quickly, it all depends on your circumstances. I suspect that you work full time, so will have to study in your free time. Obviously this will extend the amount of time taken to understand and complete the course material. You can use the confuser but I would only use it as an aid to study, rather than a cheat! You are at the start of a very long tunnel. Flight training is usually a long and drawn out process, so try not to get too frustrated.
