The first syllabus is a JOC (Jet Orientation Course) the second one is a short type rating.

My first type rating (with CAE Burgess Hill ) was taught purely as a type rating as very few people go onto this aircraft without prior experience on twin engined jets. As a complete newbie it was too much for me, but thanks to some very talented and patient instructors I passed first time.

I would have preferred to do a little more handling but there was only a finite amount of sim time available. Unfortunately a type rating is just that, it teaches you how to operate the aircraft and the finer points of its handling characteristics. A JOC is there to teach jet handling etc. This can be taught in the MCC, or it could be taught in the TR. It all depends on what sort of students will be attending the course.
