Someone more knowledgeable than me will chime in I'm sure but
afaik, that is correct once they meet all the hours etc, requirements. However it's probably advisable to get some sort of study package to prepare because of the way the exams are structured (it's not what you know, it's how you say it in EASA-ish). There are cheaper non-official study options available but I don't know how they stand in terms of quality.
As for type ratings, ATP's etc, that's a whole other area and they're better off getting that sort of information straight from the source.
