I think that description cover pretty much any form of training towards a fATPL, these days whether it be semi-sponsored/mentored/off your own back/modular/integrated, bar the difference in costs for the different routes.
You can debate the various merits of each route, but either way its always going to be some what speculative, most definately at your own risk, and down to you to put the work in to pass! Some routes
may be cheaper, some
may offer better prospects at the end, some may even be linked with an airline but all the above still apply.
