Training is spread evenly throughout the month with a mixture of sims and flying (if you're a TC) or sims only if you are a TCP.
It's reinvigorated my love and interest in the job. Every day is a challenge in some way, I learn LOADS from watching how other people fly aircraft (Eye opening after 20+ years in the job), and it can be an incredibly rewarding occupation. I can highly recommend it.
There is the significant amount of hoop jumping and courses to be passed first mind which was extremely hard work but worth it in the end.
