This is from memory so someone will no doubt clarify, the only requirement to start the CPL course (modular) is 150hrs total time plus either the ATPL exam or CPL exam passes (14 or 9 subjects respectively).
Skill test is irrelevant, next comes CPL license issue, there are various criteria for license issue, a couple from memory are:-
Obviously a pass in the CPL GST
200hrs flight time (apply for your CPL & IR together to save pennies)
300nm cross country complete
100hrs PIC
10hrs of instrument duel instruction (which you'll get on the CPL anyway)
night rating complete
current class 1 medical ?
