Let me answer that question for you: NO

Unless you've been flying with instrument rated pilots, observing IFR flights and have been studying your butt off, a 15 day course is a horrible idea. In my opinion it would be incredibly unsafe. Think about it.

In all instructing I've done and all the instrument students I've trained (a lot), there's not a single one I would've signed off in 15 days, not even some of the best, hardest working students I ever had.

There are several NTSB reports out there that show new instrument rated pilots unfortunately killing themselves and others, in weather that could be considered mild IFR conditions. AOPA used to post stuff on their website about it all the time, not sure if they still do or not.
