Its a different exemption. If you have an ICAO ATPL with more than 1500hrs on 2 pilot aircraft you have to do all the exams but you're exempt any requirement for approved training. If you have >3000hrs on aircraft of more than 30T including 1500PIC you can get away with just doing two ground exams and need no approved training. In both cases you can do a single 'ATPL skills test' on the type you are rated on if you have more than 500hrs on type. You can also take the skills test on type if you have less time on type but you start to get into requirements to attend part or all of a type rating course before the test.
