A cheaper alternative would be to find an private instructor who has extensive 121 experience and wants to teach you under that philosophy.

Not discounting that style of training starting from zero hours but it certainly doesn’t mean it is required to work well in 121. I spent several years obtaining all my ratings “hodge-podge” style bouncing all over to whatever suited my personal & financial needs. I work just fine in a professional CRM environment. It can be learned quite quickly if you have the personality & work ethic to act as a professional.
