I agree with SoCal. Assuming vandereydt is going for a standalone FAA PPL he needs, written exams, practical flight training, check ride, and medical.
Flight hour requirements will have to be met (see FAR/AIM) - if he already holds a PPL, most of hour requirements are likely already met, but he still needs minimum 3h training prior to check ride within preceding 90 days, IIRC (this is covered in FAR/AIM).
I went down this route a couple of months ago (already having JAA licences wanting a standalone FAA PPL) and did all necessary steps in Europe (incl. check ride). Contact Orbifly flight training, they can help you out as they did with me.
Best,
