I frequently give my students and exam candidates a partial Rather than full EFATO on take off, in general the recognition and handling of it is dreadful, the industry only ever seems to teach full EFATOs on take off. I have spoken to the CAA Senior FE about this.
What you describe as a method of handling this seems to be a turn back with option of field landing along the way?
In an SEP if you have an engine issue my view is you need a plan of action, then get on with it. Field to field stuff is just prolonging the time spent dicking around at low level increasing the time the average PPL driver will have to make a hash of it and stall / spin in.
