Would not be fair to the upgrade candidate to match them up with a trainee. They have enough to worry about.
It is FO/FO during your training SIMs and LOFT. You will take turns, so your 4 hour SIM sessions consists with half in the left seat where you are training and half in the right seat where you basically do what the SIM instructor tells you to do. Your checkride will be with an experienced Captain in the left seat who may give you a hint here and there if you get stuck on something.
