Actually I believe only a full course is needed after 60 months, after 36months the ATO can tailor your training
If you are in EASA land it's now 36 month. Before on JAA it was 5 years but legislation changed..... Check aircrew FCL.740 ( AMC page 247 )

Expiry longer than 3 years: the applicant should again undergo the training required for the initial issue of the rating.So a new type rating is required. Some of my friends got screwed with that when they changed it as they were relying on this 5 years...
