You can however do both at once which is a rounding error in your training. 2x medical. 2x ATPL and a conversion either in UK or EASA depending where you did your original CPL ME/IR.
How practical is this if you study at an EASA approved school in Europe (e.g. Bartolini) which does NOT have CAA accreditation? Could you enroll at BGS to do your CAA ATPL theory exams while training and studying at a European school, and then just pay for the relevant skills tests later down the line also?
