xxx,

Are there any prerequisites for that particular school? Most if
not all accelerated courses require passing the written exam and some
require certain minimum dual and/or instrument hours. I don't think
that any student should expect coming to an accelerated intrument
course 'cold' and to learn everything about instrument flying and be
proficient in 7 or 10 days.

I'm very surprised to hear that you do not regret taking the
course eventhough you think it was incomplete and insufficient for
flying in instrument conditions.

IMHO, instrument flying is a 'deadly' serious business. Our only
reason for getting the rating is to be able to use it. We did not
launch into IMC right after getting our ratings until we had some
additional practices. However, we never felt that our training was
incomplete or insufficient. If we had felt that way, any amount of
money that we paid our instructor would have been too much.
