What are you basing the diploma info on? When you say full B1 I assume you mean an unrestricted B1 LWTR? Are you saying that to hold an unrestricted B1 LWTR you must also hold a diploma?
I have just completed the theory and practical part of this process and I am currently waiting for the paperwork to be completed. My understanding of the system is CASA will only remove the restrictions from your old CAR30 license, now restricted B1, once you have completed the Diploma. The cheapest place by far I have found to do this is through Kangan TAFE in MEL.
