I recommend it if you already have your IFR rating. Or wait to get it and then go get it. The basics are easily picked up by practice and reading the manual. The training class is mostly around using the GTNs for IFR with a compatible PFD and GFC. They go through various IFR scenarios. GTN is a powerful system. There’s online version as well for those who don’t want to do the in-person class. The in-person training asks you to complete the online course prior to class. 

It is a little like drinking from a firehose.

I would like them to do a longer (maybe 3 day) or offer an advanced class.

But I am considering repeating it.  I did it about 3 weeks before my plane was done.  Now that I am coming up on 100 hours with the panel, a refresher would be nice.
