The route to the JAR CPL from the CAA BCPL is basically two stages. Stage one - achieve all you need to upgrade to the CAA CPL (700 hours TT etc.). Stage two - achieve all you need to convert the CAA CPL to the JAR CPL. There is no need to have the CAA CPL issued first and no rush to do this before end June.
