Conversions!!

[Horehey]

Hello,
I'm new to the forum, and I just have a few questions that I would like to ask, I am looking at doing an integrated flying course in South Africa with Progress Flight Academy, it will cost with flights there and medical just shy of 30k, I want to come back to the UK to fly commercially, a job on the cards already (just hour building really).
What I would like to know is do I have to convert my licence to a UK CPL from an SA CPL? I have done some research and I have hit a brick wall.:ugh:

How much will it cost and is there a quick way to do it?

Thanks

This seems to cover it:-

Commercial Pilot Flight Training, CPL, Flying Lessons, Stapleford Flight Centre, London, UK (http://www.flysfc.com/licence-conversions-commercial.php)

And this for the ground exams

ATPL & CPL Conversions (Aircraft & Helicopters) | Bristol Groundschool (http://www.bristol.gs/atpl-cpl-conversions-aircraft-helicopter/)

Yes you will have to convert. You will need an EASA CPL, so you can convert in any European country that is a member of EASA.

Conversion costs will vary depending on the country of choice, but you can budget from €10,000 to €17,000.
