I know CTC Southampton do JOC/Advanced Handling Skills Courses. They run them for Easy and Jet2.

Course consists of 1st day aircraft basics (boeing or scarebus) with a little bit of SOP stuff. Next 4 days are in the sim, 4x4hr sessions, all procedural, no auto pilot or flight director. Not too difficult if you are already line flying, but maybe tricky for the newly qualified!

Course costs £3000 plus VAT.

I personally think it is a bit of a scam to get guys who are already line flying commercially to do this course. I didn't really benefit from it, and like you I was flying turbo-props in excess of 25k tonnes, but it was a pre-requisite, so had to do it!!! Someone, somewhere is getting very rich out of this sort of thing

I'm sure there are other establishments that do this such as Alteon, maybe even BA at cranebank, give them a call!

Good Luck
