Question CTC's AQC and JOC: difference plz?

I may be asking a stupid question, but I'm not familiar with the differences between CTC's AQC and their JOC. Are there significant differences and in people's opinions which is the better of the two, both as a course and also for job placement?

Also, the simulators used at CTC, do both the 400 and the 700 have full motion?

JOC is the BA cadets version of the AQC.

CTC have 737-300 and -700 sims at Marchwood. Both are fixed base sims ie. no motion but are very good.

We teach BA JOC here at Jerez. the course is 44 hours (11x4hour details). Each pilot gets 2 hour per detail as P1.

First 6 details cover learing the Airline SOP, handling a jet, flying procedural approaches, NDB approaches, go-arounds, engine out procedures, Single engine take-off, approach and go-around and RTOs. In essence, your entire ATPL training in 24 hours!

The rest of the course is route flying, emergencies and their managment, refreshing the GH and an FHT.

Underpinning all of this is the essential MCC/CRM concepts and practice that are vital on a multi crew flightdeck. We issue an MCC certificate as part of the deal - all the MCC syllabus requirements are covered as part of the JOC.

Damned hard work, great fun and hugely worthwhile prior to joining the company. It cuts failures on type conversions to near zero at BA - and saves a huge wadge of cash for the airline, who ove us as a result!
