While technically a different route, the process is virtually identical. TIP-L allows you to take the Skill test with no training and without the 50 hours IFRPIC if you have demonstrated the TK via exams. If you haven't done the TK exams, you need 50 hours IFRPIC exactly like CBIR.
Also, annoyingly it's an EU-FAA agreement, so not all EASA licences are eligible for conversion.
