Michael:

I have developed a great deal of respect for your integrity and zeal for quality aviation education.

I am concerned though about the "need" for any flight school to provide a RJ transition course.

If you need a prep course to be able to pass an initial new hire training program, you don't belong on the flight deck of a Part 121 air carrier.

The best prep course is the full time job in Part 135 prior to joining the Part 121 world.

As a EMB145 Captain and former freight pilot, I can tell which FO's have flown Part 135 or Part 121 in their prior jobs and those who have not without even asking.
