Billiebob, I read the post and your response. Every single one of your responses is to cut and paste a load of EASA extracts and make everything look to be end of the world difficult. The actual answer is that the ratings can be done at the same time and there is no required training. Everything else you posted is at a tangent as the OPs ratings are only recently expired.
I am sure you get an element of joy out of making things more complicated than they are. Or are trying to make some sort of point.
It's little wonder people give up flying when things which are quite simple in reality are made to look so difficult.
To the OP, drop me a line I would be happy to sort the renewal out for you.
