Just teach them in the normal way, when they are good enough to pass the test put them in for it. Don't really see what hours has got to do with it; all hours are minimums, it takes what it takes!
Regarding the NPPL to JAA upgrade, as the test standard is exactly the same for both licences, spend 1 hour on radio nav and fly around in circles for the other 14.
You can take the JAA Skill Test at 35 hours, on completion of the training 25 + 10 hours; then send them off solo to 45 hours for licence issue.
