RTN11, it is more likely that avaricious ATOs will attempt to persuade prospective LAPL(A) students that the licence is of little worth and that a PPL(A) is more attractive.
Whereas, in fact the LAPL(A) is an entirely adequate part-FCL pilot licence which can include ICAO day/night VFR privileges throughout EASA Member States. It can also be maintained with a much simpler / cheaper Medical Certificate than can the PPL(A) and it can be upgraded to PPL(A) later with little additional training needed.
But we might well see such greedy ATOs falling foul of their own short-sightedness. Because a PPL/FI may teach the LAPL(A) course without the need to have passed the CPL exams. So it won't be long before part-time PPL/FIs, rather than people-tube wannabee hours builders, will find themselves in demand to deliver LAPL(A) training at lower cost than the traditional PPL course........
