In generic training, you can practice as much as you want because the sim is voice recognition and you operate it on your own.
Most of us came in on the weekends, especially before an eval. The centre is open 24 hours, so you can come in and practice as much as you'd like.

In speciality, the sim is run by specialized staff, so there is no practicing during specialty.

That explains the CT rates in specialty :( Do you feel they are providing enough practice sessions to prepare for specialty evals?

Trust me, more access to the simulator during specialty training has very little to do with success rates. The courses are built to allow enough time to acquire the necessary skills for OJT. If at the end of the specialty course you are CT’d its not because you didn’t have enough time. If the instructors feel more simulation is required, they’ll arrange for it.

It just means your current training program is over. You could be recoursed if the potential is there or it could be the end of the line with Nav. It’s really a case by case basis.
