Fixed wing microlight license to PPL

Hi guys & gals

could anyof you assist me? I'm looking at starting flying lessons but want to try and do it the cheaper way, i have been told the best way to obtain a PPL cheaper is to learn to initially fly in a fixed wing microlight (not sure what license you get) then once you have passed in that aircraft, then upgrade it to a full PPL?

Can anyone tell me what the license is i would obtain from a fixed wing microlight? and what i would need to do to advance it to a full PPL?

I'm 38 and have this desire to become a commercial pilot (i know i'm to old) but even if it falls flat on its face really want to learn to fly, any advice you can give would be greatfully received

Thanks Paul
