No disrespect but these are questions you should be asking the training company, and not here. You really need to do you home work pick up the phone and call them.:ugh:

approx 5 weeks
Yes
Flight test in the sim.Yes written exams with minimum pass mark.
You are tested according to the flight profile of the LPC OPC can last approx 2 hours. Then circuit training 6 take off and landings.
Depends on your school. Call them.
Depends on you.

I am surprised that the TRTO and the (associated airline that have offered you a position at the end of the course) have not answered these questions for you. I would definitely touch base with them again to check the terms and conditions of the deal.......

no i'm not finished yet. i'm only half way throught my atpl's but I heard that type ratings are difficult and I don't know much about them.

I also heard of some body failing a type rating after been hired by an airline.
