It is entirely a tick in the box from an employers point of view - but depending on your backfound/aspirations some people up the price and do them in a jet/full motion sim in order to help with forthcoming check rides.
(And before people ask the employers don't give a jot if you did that or not but it can be more cost effective than doing a cheap MCC and then buying sim time seperately)
Can't answer your question though - sorry:\

There's one in Wolverhampton, can't remember the name, but it's about £2k, personally I would recommend doing it in a full motion, having done the IR sim time in an FNPTII and an MCC in a full motion I can say (and my sim partner agreed) you would get far more from the course by doing it in a full motion.
The other thing to consider is a sim assessment, I have just done an assessment for a UK major in the exact full motion I did my MCC in, I had 25hrs in this particular sim before hand. Did it help me? you betcha :ok:
Ditto the previous comments, I did the cheap course at WBA and whereas it does get the tick in the box it does not prepare you for a sim check on a full motion sim. That said most MCC is done with autopilot hence you wont get any raw data flying which is what you want for a sim check. You pays your money and takes your choice.

I too support the previous comments. Go for the more expensive option now and increase your chances of passing an airline sim assesment.

Try EAAC down at Bournemouth, their MCC course is £2399 on a full motion tri-star, they've just in the process of installing a 737-200 which will also be used for the MCC course.
Cheap and on a full motion sim, can't recommend them enough.
