Instructor course at On-Track 9 years ago . Using 'wot' appears to be a Grob Tutor syllabus adapted for a PA28 .
Climbing turns limit to 15*-20* AOB due reduction of climb rate with greater AOB .
Medium level turns in circuit , which is 30* AOB , else you'll be in the next county / country .
Descending turns up to 30* AOB [ preserves stall margins , as on base / final turn you'll have F25 {PA28} ].
Bad wx ccts , 500' QFE [ PA28 ] F25 , 75kts IAS climbing turn with up to 30*AOB , level and descending turns up to 30* AOB .
Don't remember any major differences from the Marshalls of Cambridge C150s of 46 years ago.
It's 8 years ago and beyond ; but over 6 civil jet families and 1 T/prop . I do not remember any restrictions on turning and retracting/extending , flaps/slats .
Although I do recommend to studes to have wings level , safe speed and 200'+ , for retracting flap AFTO. [ AOB may have 'G' pulled together with imbalanced flight and their effects on stall/spin . ]

Hope this helps ,
