For the 737 fleet the ATP will be given with your rating ride. This is a recently approved program for which the newest class will implement.
For the other fleets you will be sent for a separate "ordeal", either in a light twin or a simulator. For the simulator you have to meet recency criteria and pay a smallish fee (the difference between Atlas's commitment and whatever the simulator costs)
