Not sure if there's any advantage to this route, but can anyone confirm or deny?

Norwegian conversion school. (Full ATPL-H course around 5000$)
They also have a IR conversion course witch cost around 20.000$ if you hold a valid ICAO IR license. It will cost around 4300$ extra if you dont hold a JAA B206 type rating.
This is a ground school only, witch is working together with other schools for the practical tests.This test are done by
EHC at the same airport, and they are using 5-15 hours prep for JAA CPL-H test, depending on skills.
I can see that someone on this forum is a little confused about the answers.
Easy answer.
ATPL-H theory is frozen 7 years.
You have to take the IR practical within 3 years.
You can take the complete ATPL-H theory after you become a rated pilot. (PPL)
This is the way I am going to take my conversion.
