You would need a PCATD (personal computer aviation training device) to log
hours toward PART of an instrument rating under either Part 61 or Part 141.
If it is for Part 141 then it has to be part of that school's curriculum.

You can look at www.flyelite.com for examples of PCATD systems -- you
probably will not find one under $1,200 though. Sometimes you might find
one for that price on Ebay however.
