ATP CTP course
curious to find who you would recommend for taking the ATP CTP course?
Your experience and how were the instructors. I'm looking for a company to not just teach the written but has good, experienced instructors who can share experiences.
I am low time and just getting to the point of being qualified. Don't want to sit in a class and challenged to stay awake. Want someone who loves what they are doing. Also, good simulators. Does not just read material to the class.
Thank you very much.

Pick your company based on anything other than which ATP-CTP course they send you to.

What you really want is an old, grey instructor that tells stories from "the good ol days" while you are doing your Shep Air.

Echo echo
Ill Echo what everybody else has said. I did mine at CAE IN Dallas. The course content was basically one day of pilot and IFR refresher. Another day of high speed and highn altitude stuff with some accident analysis. Next day was crm and big airplane ops. Last three days were in the sim. Instructor was a little demanding we thought considering nine if the 3 of us had ever set foot in a Gulfstream III...but once you got past his attitude the sim was pretty fun
Course really didn't help you study for the test at all and the instructors said that as well. They pretty much admitted you were there just to check a box. Sheppard air is a must.

The CTP course is not federally mandated to prep you for the written, so if that is what you are looking for you will need to look elsewhere.
Instructors are hit and miss. Each company will have several instructors, some good and some just okay. Who you will get you won't know until your first day of class. I was lucky enough to get a good one that made the dry material at least somewhat entertaining.
