MEP Training Question For New PPL

Question regarding MEP training. If having just passed my PPL and only having 10 or so PIC/P1 hours can I start MEP training? (ruling finance out of the question)

I have read the following from LASORS

F3.2 REQUIREMENTS FOR THE ADDITION
OF AN MEP (LAND) CLASS RATING
An applicant for a class rating for a single-pilot MEP
(Land) aeroplane rating must produce evidence of having
completed a minimum of 70 hours as pilot-in-command
of aeroplanes.

Which means I have to have 70 hours before APPLYING FOR THE CLASS RATING (which, i think i'm right in saying is after the skills test (as it states i have to pass the rating within 6 months of the skills test)

Now can I at 10 or so hours PIC get in a twin and log P/UT as a student if there is a suitable instructor sitting beside me? Obviously there is the fact that I would need to keep this training up (if possible) until I get the 70 hours P1 on SEP's.
