    Much will most likely depend on what your prospective employer wants to see. But I suspect she should maybe go to a nearby school and see if they will do an evaluation check ride to see if perhaps she can display enough proficiency to go through a condensed, modified "refresher" course. But again, a refresher course may or may not be considered by a given carrier.

    She will most definitely have to go through a refresher course and probably ride with a trainer all over again.

    Your other option would be to get hired on first, drive for a few months and then train her yourself.

    Good luck!
