If you get into an inadvertent spin it will almost certainly be at too low an altitude to recover, therefore virtually all nations have
removed spin training from their PPL syllabus in favor of spin avoidance training.
A spin is an aerobatic maneuver and therefore there is IMO no reason for a non acrobatically trained pilot to ever deliberately spin his/her aircraft. As for inadvertently entering a spin......well I tell my students if you get in an inadvertent spin you were stupid times three.

1) You entered slow flight without recognizing it

2) You let the aircraft stall without preventing it

3) Before unstalling the aircraft you let it yaw
