3 weeks of ground instruction, which is practically worthless. Highly recommend paying for one of the ground instruction programs and study that. There are a few Quizlet question banks done up specifically from the Allegiant Oral study guide. One of the quotes from day one...."Airmanship is not required in an AB". SIT training and SIM training are actually pretty good, except for the overloading of nonsense required on each day's syllabus (FAA directed, it seems). You will NOT be taught the checkride, that being said, I found the device training to be better than expected, given the ridiculousness of the ground training.
