In a word....NO!
Its a bloody disgrace.
If you want to study something really useful like fine art or sculpture then you are fine! However, become a pilot..then, in the eyes of the Government, you are no use to man nor beast!
Oh, ..learning to drive a bus is OK too!
If you are modular, your course is not in 'terms' as in University or college. as a result you don’t fit the definition of a student in the eyes of the Dept of health, and won’t even get student status for dental or eye care (not that you should need the later!).
Even individual learning accounts specifically exclude commercial flight training.
Good eh?
