You will have to speak to the CAA and see what the Director of Policy says.
Realistically outside your previous course they are dual.
But under the circumstances (I presume ex Cabair) they would have to be harsh to enforce that.
Good luck.
And try and get it in writing and get them to confirm what you require to do to get your license and ratings. They will try and tell you to read lasors but there will be a heap of issues which it won't cover that will effect all the excabair folk.
