This course will give you an added advantage when applying fora position with a company flying these types of aircraft. For some airlines it is mandatory to have an MCC certificate before applying.
Some of the topics include:

- Crewmember roles and responsibilities during normal operations
- Crew member roles and responsibilities during abnormal operations
- Effective and clear communication during flight
- Leadership, advocacy and authority
- Mutual supervision, information and support
- Operation of aircraft systems
- Personality, attitude and motivation
The training is not specific to any particular aircraft type. It teaches skills that will relate to any future aircraft you may fly.
Jet orientation training (JOT) bridges the gap between the typical piston twin you may have used for your multi-engine IR and the high performance of aircraft in typical airline service. It teaches the handling idiosyncrasies of swept-wing jet transport aircraft, and how to plan for the momentum that comes with higher speed and weight so that you can keep your brain ahead of the aircraft.
