I think the same, its good for conversions, I did mine there and got the pass, the training would have to be much better for an initial but I was not concerned with this as was a previous FAA CFI so had the skills already to pass an IR sim check
they may work harder with you for an initial? who knows,, but I would research that for sure.
The problam may lie in the fact the instructors are not dedicated to one student and are rostered like an airline really, thay have there days on and off and thats it, the sessions are tailers like 1-20 and they may take you for lesson 1, 5,11,16 so you dont get that steady build up of skill level with them working with you on your strong and weak point, its a lesson plan, they sit down, go through the lesson and tick the box as compleate then go home and you come in for your next lesson the next day,,, not real training in my eyes.
