Currently on a UK FI course and can confirm the following:

For inexperienced "Bloggs" the emphasis is to fly the landing attitude, carry out appropriate landing and thereafter control the aircraft on the ground to vacate the runway in a safe manner...flaps to be raised during afters checks.

This of course assumes training being carried out to a runway with some distance to spare in case of landing balloon/float/power on (some of which I get wrong even now) and that "landing" matters more than performance.

For experienced "Bloggs" it's get the speed correct, round-out correctly and touch asap, control the aircraft, flaps up, pitch to put weight on mains, and brake... and if in doubt GO AROUND!

Get the impression my instructor knows what they are on about, but they'd be the first to say some else knows better.
