SIC recurrent training question
hi All,
i did my foreign license conversion to faa atp integrated with a B737 rating, left seat, in December 2014. i was required to do the full initial type rating course tho i have a previous experience of 850 hrs, right seat, on B737.
now, i have a job offer for SIC position in some Asian country and the prospective employer wants me to do my recurrent.
my question is, exactly what are the details of the flight training that i need to take to be able to act as SIC on B737 ?
i already read far 61.55 and it seems to me the recurrent training requirement for SIC is less than PIC. however, the TRO i am talking to says the recurrent training is same except i sit on the right.
i need to be sure to avoid unnecessary extra payment.
any advice or info very much appreciated. thanks for your time.

While 61.55 says you only need to "become familiar with" the flight manual and the procedures, a part 142 school has to train to an approved syllabus. So it is whatever that school has that has been approved by the FAA.
