I know of one FE who conducts a very detailed VOR tracking exercise as part of the PPL(H) test. It involves identifying the current radial, intercepting another using a method which calculates the angular difference between the reciprocals, intercepting at an optimum angle according to a pre-determined method; tracking that radial, intercepting another and tracking that one in the opposite direction. It is more involved than what an IR(H) student would normally content with!
A terribly impressive and utterly perishable skill set with about zilch applicabiility if someone is unsure of position and stressed. But I'm sure the time involved in training and testing for it help the school's bank account.
Btw. KN, should you read this: adding any nominal intercept angle to the target radial (assuming the result is less than 90 and you know if you want to go towards or away from the station) is something students can grasp quickly and actually remember.
