Um, not quite. There's a "list of things" you have to do and meet.
How things are structure will depend if it's a part 61 or part 141 school/program. The time requirements are also dependent on wether it's 61 or 141.
But, when you're instructor feels like the student is ready, the student will go up into the pattern and do a feel laps solo.
