Finished up my 737 type recently at FTI in DEN. I thought I would post a review as others have expressed interest.

The course is an accelerated Part 142 type rating. This means that you basically do your own ground school via 32 hours (minimum) Computer Based Training. They issue all the required Boeing manuals via iPad through Jet Pubs with additional self study requirements. The training must be completed prior to day one of school.

You will have day 1 as 8 hours of ground with an entry exam, instruction, and an exit exam.

The sim training is to ATP standards in a 737-300 Classic at UAL's training center. The instructors are all contract employees, and most are current or retired UAL check airmen/instructors. I enjoyed working with each of them.

While it is an "accelerated course," I wouldn't say it's a guaranteed pass by any means, and they won't cover everything about the airplane. You will still need to earn it--and it's still a real checkride.

The oral isn't as in-depth as a 121 check, and you do the oral with your sim partner in a cooperative effort. The oral was more of a Flight Safety type event.

Expect a full two hours in each seat on checkride day. The check profile is basically the standard 121 profile including a circle. An emergency descent is not required for those who hold an FAA type rating already.

FTI is the shortest and cheapest 737 course around.

I recommend staying at the Holiday Inn Stapleton East as they give an FTI rate and it's right across the road from the center.

I would recommend FTI for a 737 type if that's your heading.
