Getting through training nowadays
 

Hello folks. New hire here starting training in mid September. I would like to ask for advice and few tips for having a good training experience. I’m coming from a different career. And will do what it takes to be successful in this transition. Thanks.

Its a pretty simple equation. Have your flows, profiles, limitations, and memory items memorized before you start systems ground school, you’ll have about 10 days at home after indoc and the CBTs they have you do takes like a day. And review the next days materials the night before for every phase of training you’re in.

If you do that you’ll breeze through training.

And a very good instrument scan!

Thanks guys. I appreciate the advice.

Training Delay
 

Has anyone heard of major backups in training? I was told 100 days from Indoc to OE... Is this true?

I have a referral going through training right now who started indoc in mid-June and starts sims at the end of this month. So his total training footprint will be roughly 2 months if everything goes as scheduled. Not sure what the OE wait time after sims is right now

Someone mentioned to me that there will be a 100 question test at the end of week one that might be open book or not. If that was your case, Could you please share your experience with us?

FOM test. Read along, ask the class ahead, you’ll be fine.

Yup. Getting through Piedmont training is all about effort level. If you give good effort in studying, you’ll breeze right through.

Very good guys. Thanks a lot for the responses. I’m glad to hear that the training is fare and if the student is making the best effort, there will be good chances of success. Time to get on those books.
