No seriously, Indoc/systems is about 3 weeks. FTD/Sims are about 1.5 weeks and usually (but not always) start right after indoc/systems. IOE comes after your checkride and LOFT of course. It's all up to scheduling.

FTD- 6 sessions. Some days off in-between. Typical schedule is 3 or 4 on, 2 to 4 off, 3 on (or combination thereof).
SIM is 8 sessions, similar days on/off layout as FTDs. 9th is checkride
Expect total time to be 2 months in training

OE legs are whatever they are. No min/max number. Expect 3 to 4 trips on OE
IPAD provided
I don’t recommend looking over internet gouge (limitations/mem items as they aren’t necessarily the same as ours. Limitations and mem items are typically covered in class by the instructor to help explain some of them. There’s some discussions about providing these beforehand in the near future, which would be handy IMO
Theres nothing wrong with watching videos on how the FMAs work, or some basics on how the systems work, but as for memorizing non-company info…don’t waste brain cells!

I did it prior to going to training because I had a lot of time off, $199 for three months access. The videos are engaging and easy to watch, complete oral prep video that goes over answers to oral questions and "preferred answers". Made the type ride and oral a non event for me. It's taught by two spirit guys and is put together well. Not an "approved technique" but you could split it with someone. Once I got to ground school, the classes just reinforced what I had already learned watching the videos. As someone already said, don't worry about the limitations because various companies have different ones - weird I know. Good luck.

Thank y'all, I have started watching some CBT videos and checking the flows. I'll take your advice into account.
