You would have thought so G but some of these kids have alot of work to do to get them up to standard.
Everything they have done is airline ops. And there SEP flying has been an extremely long time ago.
I you walk into a school with out all those crap (For GA) checklists you were provided with on your course.
Then never mention anything that you have been taught to do previously just do as your told by the local instructor even if you think you know better. Then you might be able to get it out the way in as G describes.
You could off course go and do it at your old school and have less potential hassels, it might turn out cheaper.
