In Australia, the instrument rating required each individual approach to be certified in the licence. You had to complete the NDB, but the rest were optional - ILS, LLZ, VOR, DME (the DME approach an Australian thing, now discontinued).
When I came to the UK, I asked about SRA approaches, and certification, and discovered that individual approaches aren't certified in Europe, which I found a bit surprising. My first (and subsequent) SRAs where therefore completed with no training whatsoever - never even seen a chart for one, until I flew it.
