Hi comeflywithb
No, everything is kept at minimum in order to keep the costs low (as most of these kind of schools), but with the bristol platform you get most of your job done on there. Still there are some airline pilots working there part-time who will be more than happy to answer your questions and give you suggestions, but no extra ground training provided for the atpl theory.
When I did my class at Bartolini last year, all instructors were pilots/maintenance engineers from majour airlines or anyway with a solid background.
Not like that anymore unfortunately, when I was there for my cpl-ir-mep the classes were kept by cpl instructors, who are really nice guys but with limited experience (basically ex bartolini students who did ther FI rating).
Good luck!
