Yes, the pilots
are trained on emergency situations. Each half a year they have a Recurrent training where all systems will be reviewed in case of failures. Examples are single engine landings, flame-outs at decisionspeeds or take offs, loss of compression etc. etc.
Don't worry about the professional skills during emergencies of an airline pilot.
