You may not have to have done the CPL flying course but as a practical matter you will need equivalent to CPL flying skills
before you start the FI course.
I personally have not met a lower time PPL yet, that would be ready to start an FI course without a significant amount of pre-course dual instruction brush up, so if you want to go this route then I would advise budgeting accordingly.
I find it sad that the CPL theory exams are required as from what I can see very little in them has much relevance to teaching PPL's
