You haven't quite grasped how it works.

Either you pay for a zero to hero course with oxford or CTC or the like. And you follow that methods syllabus.

Or you go the building block way

which is

PPL (IACO or JAR)

Ground school and exams and while you are doing that build your hours up to 150 total (which is what you do your interesting trips in). You can do your MEP class rating during this time and night qual.

Then MEP (if you don't have it) CPL and IR. Once you have the IR you can do the MCC.

At the end of that your will be whats called a frozen ATPL. Which just means your qualified to CPL, SPA ME IR, MCC which is exactly what the first option kicks you out with. Although you will have about 170 hours with the first one and 200 total with the second.

The get an ATPL you need to have 1500 hours total, 100 hours of night, 500 multi crew and a ATPL license skills test in a JAR25 multi crew aircraft.

You just don't have a training course which gets you to ATPL license.
