Well in my opinion I would say it helps amazingly well as both an intro to Multi Crew Co-operation and also, equally as important, as a way to build on your Multi-IR scan technique while you're in a 4x faster jet aircraft.
Both prepare you very well for an assessment, especially if you were to do one in a 737 with the basic 6 instrument set-up - like the majority of newbies find themselves doing right now.
Worked for me anyway.
