This is broadly my experience, even having been in the sim or on the line with those who have a rep as a "bad egg".
the only note of caution is some of the stories ive heard from those who've done a SH command course recently, some of the games the trainers play while being a "notice level FO lacking initiative" sound horrendous, and have very little to do with training IMHO.
