They are certainly telling lies if they are saying you will have no problem getting a job, especially in Spain for a low time pilot. The easy bit is getting a licence - you need hours on top, or a specialist qualification like longlining or an IR. Fortunately, given your location, you may already have one if you speak Spanish - a lot of the world is wide open to you, especially South America where, until not that long ago, they were more interested in your speaking Spanish than your licence.
What's the point in getting paid if you get no legal hours? Ad that stuff about 3 years and type ratings? You can't get a licence issued without a type ratiing anyway.
Having said all that, many people I know are making a living freelancing.
The standard of the exams is just about high school, but you have to remember a lot.
A lot depends on how much money you have. With low hours you need as many cheap hours as possible - that is, quantity rather than quality, but at some stage you will need turbine time, then twin time. It's hard to say where the cutoff is, but I would suggest it would be around 500 hours piston.
And yes, as ERSA says, it is 13 exams for the CPL(H), and the m/e qualification should be on the AS 355. Also, you will need an extra certificate if you only have a CPL(H) and wish to fly twins - the First Multi-engine pre-entry conversion.
Finally, be careful of where you do any type conversions - as a Chief Pilot, if you came to me with a 206 type rating and only 10 hours, I would likely want to do it again unless I knew the school who trained you, but then, I'm weird that way
.
Good luck!
