Do I HAVE to buy purchase a JAA / EASA Course??

Hey all just wondering if anybody clarify for me.

I have a CASA ATPL and FAA ATP. I also have more than 1500 hours on type of a multi crew aircraft.

I have been told that if I do a modular course I am exempt from having to sit the ground school, I can just purchase their course for 2000 odd pounds and do the tests.

My question is: Can I just purchase somebody's second hand text books study and then rock up for the tests?

Also I have the right to work in the UK. (not EU) I have a fresh A320 rating with about 3000 total. Is anybody able to give me the pros and cons of either spending my money on an EASA conversion or am I better of using the cashola on doing recurrent training and hoping to just somehow land a job without time on type. (Before people ask why I decided to get a type rating without a job lined up in the first place. I had one but the company went belly up.)
