It could and should be the other way round but that would require common sense applied.
Infact I'd suggest that if a learner who undertakes say 10hrs with an instructor prior to commencing the balance of their hours with a friend/relative goes on to fail the test it shows they didnt take on board or continue to practice those correct methods and dont deserve to drive until they do.

After being an insider for 13 years as part of licensing regime, VicRoads was never in favour of 'forced learning', although they did mandate it for a while but backed down when pressure was exerted from external forces
I can't comment on other States
