FTI offers just the practical course in Miami and Denver (in addition to the 2-week zero-to-hero CTP+written+practical). I had a great experience in Miami, 5-day course for ~$7500, both instructor and DPE were ex-AF.

It’s definitely pricey compared to other options, but I didn’t have to worry about weather or airplanes breaking down (both factors I saw affect other people).

It was a little intimidating learning the A320 just for the checkride but the depth of knowledge is not to a type-rating level (think Boldfaces/big systems overview vs complex EPs/which hydro controls a specific spoiler).

They pair you with a training partner and you take the checkride as a crew. The left seater is evaluated but can be assisted by the right seater, then you switch seats.
