If you can learn the intricacies of flying jets and all the high altitude problems associated in 16 hours you are a better man than I. It is clearly a course designed to introduce the single pilot to the dual crew environment so they don't (hopefully) have to spend the first 16 hours in their very expensive dash sim teaching you there's someone sitting next to you, and aircraft go quicker than 140kts.
Also if you want to take the "turboprop isn't a jet" line of answering when they ask "how does a turboprop work" please could you post the reactions back here. A turboprop is a gas turbine jet engine, with a reduction gear box spinning a prop that produces thrust, if we're to be pedantic a certain amount of thrust is also produced from the exhaust gases (jet enough for you?). Just because it doesn't have a fan in an enclosed case does not mean it isn't a gas turbine.
For all those that do apply best of luck.
