Hi,
the following is for an FAA but I think it should be the same for TC ?
For a FAA CPL/IR to be converted to a JAA CPL/IR (fATPL) the requirements are as follows:
To begin with you will need a valid Class 1 JAR Medical Certificate.
You need to commence your training by completing the full ATPL theory course. You can have two options: Distance learning which is split into three modules (approximately 3 months each) where we supply you with the Study Guides and with the support of web-based training and a one week refreshment course at the end of each module where you will be taking the theory exams.
Option Two is the In-House theory training (takes approximately 6 months)
For the CPL module you need to be able to pass the JAR CPL skill test, and you need flight training that is deemed necessary by a head of training. Usually candidates needs between 5 to 10 Hours.
For the IR module there is a compulsory 15 hours flight training (min. 10 in complex - multi aircraft) and also any extra flight training deemed necessary by a head of training. At the end of this course you will need to pass the IR skill test.
Hope that helps?
