Private Pilot in 10 days

Two years ago I went to Lake Elmo, MN, USA.
I took flying lesson during 1 month, and then the examn. It's possible,
I am sure. But if my dad would fly himself I weren't able to do that. I
flew with my dad many many times, and I knew a lot about flying before
get started at Lake Elmo. But you have always to know:
If you have your license you are allowed to fly, you aren't yet a good
pilot. The skills are coming with the time! And you can't get this
skills in 10 days. That needs a whole life. Even my dad after 20 years
of flying, isn't yet at the end of perfection. You learn after each
flight. Never forget to make a debrifing for your own.

long the average person takes to complete their PPL?

For me, that doesn't sound good. I'm quite sure 10 days might be long enough
to show someone how to manage a some-kind-of level flight and maybe some
kind of landings, but I'm quite sure it in no way will be enough time to get
a somewhat useable pilot, especially when beginning from zero...

I was looking for a compressed PPL training for myself, and next week I will
begin my training which certainly will take around 7 intensive weeks. But
then, my instructor doesn't have from the beginning since I already have
flying experience and knowledge. I'm aware that even with my experience this
probably would be some hard weeks, and I really can't imagine that such a
10-day-pilot will be really be able to fly solo in a somewhat safe manner...
