From what I gather / I’m doing
Yes the IRR + CBIR = SEIR
MEP is the same as SEP just a class
SEIR - MEIR conversion course, 5hrs min of which 3 can be FNPT.
CPL Single engine
UPRT & APS/MCC (VA is recommended through wings alliance) to finish off
Order is your choice, I aim to leave multi stuff to the end so I’m proficient but it’s entirely up to you
If you want to learn more / help understanding the CAA website -> pilot licenses is a good place to look.
Some schools will say it’s not recommended or it’ll cost you more. Don’t be deterred, on a CV you’ll have more IFR hours, demonstrate greater ability as single pilot ifr is no walk in the park, and you will stand out as you’ll have more to talk about in a interview! At least that is my thinking.
