You are allowed to do your training while you study - you just can't take the skill test until you've done all the exams. With an ICAO ATP, it will typically take less than 6 months, here, at least, even with a full time job and two kids. It's 1500 hours as PIC on multipilot aircraft to self certify - 500 hours to avoid the full type rating course.

Are you talking about Aeroplane or Helicopter?
I'm confused, all the jobs in UK and Europe asks for EASA licence. Does that mean that one has to convert ICAO to EASA? or can one get a commercial job with ICAO licence in the UK / Europe.?
If upgrade means sitting for all the EASA ATPL papers again? Thanks.
