Budgie,
CAA GID No 24 states that you must have passed the exams at either ATPL or CPL level before attempting the CPL GFT. SO you could go through the CPL training without passing the exams but you would be unable to sit the GFT. Pointless exercise in other words since you really need to go straight from the training to the flight test.
