Yeah if its an fATPL that makes things easier.
The ATPL is ironically the cheapest and easiest licence to convert (can be done in a SIM) and the easiest test - an ATPL skill test is essentially a regular LPC plus a raw data ILS. The Catch-22 is because you need to get a job before you can get an ATPL - this is not going to help you find a first job.
If you don't yet have the hours for an ATPL then you'll need to do a CPL skill test and an IR skill test in an airplane, plus any required training so it gets a lot more expensive. But it may help you get a first job. The down side to this route is that unless your fATPL course is done at a dual ATO, you'll need to do a second theory course for EASA. But to do that you need to start with at least a PPL - which you won't have until AFTER you finish the whole course. So without a PPL you can't study once and take both sets of exams at the same time.
Brexit eh?
