Does this course count towards a real flying licence?

Unfortunately NOT, however you could log this time within a real flight log book under the synthetic training tab, whilst it would certainly reduce real training time which would save you thousands of pounds  it is a non certified course and would only be recognized within the non certified flight simulator community with companies similar to VA.
