Post Starting to fly turbines?

Hey all!
At the moment I'm flying to get hrs for a CPL integrated. After this I might have the chance to hop on a tech-course for the twin otter. However, I havn't got a multi engine rating. I understand I will need this for the type rating check ride, but will I need it for the theory course?

I also wonder if I may fly turbine powered A/C without an ATPL certificate? As I understand things, the CPL groundschool does not include enough turbine theory (only an introduction to the concept) to give us a turbine rating. I have heard rumours though, that I wont need this rating as it will be provided by the tech-course and A/C rating. Is this possible?

If any one can answer these questions I would be very happy! Happy new year aswell and hope the industry picks up!

Best regards to you all/lns
