Pretty much the case for a lot of people. Also the reason why prices are so high (for tuition as much as used bikes).
My instructor has guys from London come down to Swindon because it’s so difficult to get a license done in town.
September is highly unlikely now (most are booking 10-14 weeks ahead), but call around outside of your area code.

It's a good way to get bike handling skills dialled in.
I did ~5 months commuting on a 125, pending a big boy test.
Made me much more confident on the road.Also got me to the point where I didn't need to think about what I was doing (initially i was talking through the actions "clutch in, throttle off, change gear, throttle on and clutch out" "indicator is on on on on, off" etc.)
(actually the indicator one is very handy on your test, don't want to fail on something petty like an indicator being left on)
Passed my CBT and Theory now, DAS in time for September is basically impossible so I've come to the conclusion I'll buy a second hand 125 for the time being and maybe buy something else next year before summer.
