The student was already a Private Pilot. Plenty capable of landing. They were probably going for a more advanced rating. This is like driving on a NASCAR track and having the instructor jump out. The driver already has a license and can park just fine.
Random/unrelated, but fun fact - there are professional drivers with no driving’s license. My local famous drifter who participates in all sorts of official events doesn’t have a driver’s license too, but to be fair he’s 16 (min age for license is 18). You don’t need a driver’s license for motorsports afaik, not many intersections on a race track
EDIT: I had to check whether it’s just my country after downvotes. Nope, this is pretty much agreed upon globally. Race tracks are not public roads.
Actually, driving on a NASCAR track requires less credentials than normal driving as you only have to turn left. NASCAR drivers have to take extra classes to get proper driver’s license.

Most MotoGP racers do not have motorcycle licences for public roads.
flying might be a little bit different in standard
Yeah, less signs
That’s why the person said the fun fact was unrelated.
