Yes quid, nearly all were...
For example, my first heavy jet type ride (B707, circa 1974) ended with an NDB approach (engine out, idle thrust) which required a circle to land with the second engine failed (same side) on final...the FAA only wanted to know the new Vref and maintaining 25 flap for the landing, all went well...PanAmerican training was, IMHO, the BEST. If you did not cut the mustard, you were OUT.
I still think that the aircraft commander MUST have the skills for the procedures required....I wonder sometimes about the "new" guys.....
There is always the unexpected to bite you in the....ah, behind.
THAT is what the SIM is for....'tis called "train hard, fight easy".
