Louis, you're absolutely right. Once finished with the basic training (up to CPL/IR issue) the cadets go to CTC for exactly the same MCC/AQC course as the ATP scheme people.
This is probably all on CTCs website but basically the first week is a classroom based CRM course, the 2nd week is the MCC course (5 x 4 hours in the sim - Boeing 737NG at the moment) mainly using the automatics and putting into practice what you learnt in week 1 and the 3rd week is the 'advanced handling' (4 x 4 hours in the sim) + a day's groundschool, where you do similar stuff to week 2 but without any automatics.
