However, employers may specifically look for 'flight time' in which case you would (formally) have to deduct it.
You need to look at the school syllabus and if the sim they use is approved by the FAA.
You're not really giving us enough info here.
For clarity, NEVER log sim time as total time. It is not total time, or any other kind of flight time.
For some ratings, some sim time can be counted against the aeronautical experience requirements. That means the examiner looks at everything on your 8710 and decides if you have enough to meet the requirements.
For example you can get a ME ATP with 1475 total flight time, as long as you also have 25 hours in a ME sim. The sim time is instead of actual flight time, it does not BECOME (or get logged as) actual flight time...you still only 1475 hours.
