Sounds like he has it confused with the recreational certificate.

I started my PP training about 1 1/2 years ago, but due to some unfortunate
medical problems
in my family, have had to postpone it until this summer.

Now that the Sport Pilot license is available, I inquired with my school.
The manager basically said "it's useless" and couldn't really see why
anyone would
want it. Later in his conversation he says, "...unless someone just wants
to fly around
their airport - you can't really go anywhere..." - which is only partially
true
if one gets an endorsement on ADIZ, Class B, and Cross Country.
However, I see a great opportunity in this program, and would like it as a
stepping
stone to my Private.
