Requirements to become a pilot

Hi

Do i need A levels or A* in maths, english or science or do i just need a PPL and a CPL to become a pilot? Ive looked at job ads for a B777 first officer and a Saab 2000 first officer but all they require is:

Must hold a valid and current rating on the saab2000 Must have had last SIM & Flight on Type within the last 1 year Must hold a valid JAA ATPL 1500 Hours Total time 500 Hours on Type

What is a SIM and flight on type?
What is a JAA ATPL 1500 Hours total time 500 hours on type?

Also how do i get these things?

Im currently getting my PPL and will be going to oxford aviation school once i have my PPL.

Could someone advise me on what i do after i have finished aviation school and how i get them things?

Thanks in advance
