The information is here:

I am not aware that any schools or instructors have been notified individually. The syllabus is available on the web site but contains some inaccuracies and references to out of date documents.

Some schools will see a commercial opportunity when it appears whilst others are sceptical. The Skill Test is at exactly the same standard as a JAA PPLSkill Test so quite how you achieve a pass in less hours is a mystery. The syllabus is basically no different except that it has no radio nav at the practical level, a saving of about 2 hours.

In practice, you can start at any school as all hours with a JAA instructor count. The JAA exams are in use so you can do those. The medical is not yet legal but should be by the end of the month although that will only affect solo flying.
