Talking EASA CPL license conversion to UK CAA CPL

Hi everybody,
I used to be a CAA ATPL before brexit, and then converted it to spanish CPL. This was maybe 10 years ago.
Now I would like to add to my EASA license the UK CPL (again).
The CAA web explains differente routes, but I am not sure of my situation.

I only hope I do not need to do the ATPL theory again!!!

Anyone has been in this situation?
Thanks so much for any help.

R.

Seems pretty clear you should follow route 3 or 4 depending on whether you hald an IR in the last 7 years on any licence. If you have held the IR then it appears you will be credited with the theoretical exams.

Route 3 – EASA CPL (& IR if applicable)

UK licence previously held

Yes – must have been a CPL

Ground training

N/A (unless theory exam validities have expired).

Theoretical knowledge credits

Theoretical knowledge examinations credited if valid IR on UK, EASA, or ICAO licence in last 7 years.

Theoretical knowledge examinations

To regain ATPL or IR theory credits, if no valid IR held on UK, EASA, or ICAO licence in last 7 years must retake ATPL or IR (as applicable) examinations with UK CAA.

If claiming credit based on an IR on an ICAO licence, this licence will also need to be verified using the Third Country Verification process.
