Angry Advanced UPRT

From December last year a new rule by EASA states that pilots will have to undertake a 'Advanced UPRT' course before being able to undertake a Type Rating course. I've recently seen that WizzAir are asking for this in their criteria to apply and this is the first time I've seen an airline ask for this understandably as this only came in at the end of last year.

My question is, I completed my ATPL integrated course in Spring 2016 and I undertook 'UPRT' towards the end of my training. Because this new rule became effective after I completed an integrated course, does this mean I don't need to do a 'Advanced UPRT' course? If I do what exactly is the difference between the UPRT I did in 2016 to this 'Advanced UPRT'? What will I have to do which I haven't done already? Just frustrating that EASA have changed yet another rule which means more money has to be forked out for more training and from what I've seen online, most ATO's charge around the £2,000 mark for the 'Advanced UPRT' course!
