Landings are pretty much your first focus after basic air work, and you can solo in 15-20 hours typically. A full license is around 80 hours (at least here in Canada), and she had a ppl already.

When i soloed my instructor was kind enough to get out of the plane while we were on the ground. What a horrible experience for this student.
