the TUI scheme offers the cadet an MPL not an ATPL, although you can convert to an ATPL after the required number of hours.
MPLs do not contain a PPL and even after converting to an ATPL you will be restricted to multi-crew aircraft. You will not have the required license for solo flying/light aircraft flying etc.
