The online version is more or less a crash course for those that didn't start preparing earlier (not to sound harsh). You get much more out of it doing it in person. Both are invaluable, if you're in a time crunch you'll still get a lot out of it, although Albie is a pilot for FedEx and if you call him last minute he may not have the availability.

Aerocrew solutions also does a fantastic prep over the phone if you're in a pinch.

Recommend Flight Training International in Denver for sim prep.
