That's slightly wrong.
You can have a PPL, but you will be starting the course as a Zero (so fresh). Many if not nearly all of the intakes recently have PPL's and likely had begun hours building. (quick LinkedIn search will help you)
They key requirement is that you must not have started / sat any ATPL exams.
