I can't see BN2 systems syllabus take a week. They are simple planes. The fact that they don't do things like you're used to doesn't mean they are cutting corners.
Also, 2-3 weeks of IOE sounds like an exception in 135 VFR, we did all of our flight training and IOE in 6 days.

And no, we didn't "cut corners". Had to watch 2 hours of drug/alcohol prevention garbage etc because it is in the training program...
