On that you are correct, but, like everything else in life, the reality is not quite that simple. No minimum training times isn't quite the same as no training required. Each TRTO must submit a syllabus to the FAA for approval, after which they can train applicants in accordance with that syllabus. So, theoretically, a TRTO could have a 30-min 737NG type rating course, and that would be sufficient, if it passed FAA muster, which is unlikely.

I think Rotorhead is right, the organization in question must have a few courses availble, including some without a type rating, and our friend the OP was probably not real clear on what he signed up for.
