Do you need a Night Rating on your PPL to achieve your fATPL, [CPL/ME/IR]?

I'm pretty certain you do, but I may be wrong.

Regards.

No.

If you don't have a night qualification on your PPL, you can cover the material as part of your CPL course, albeit almost certainly at rather greater expense than if you'd done it earlier.

Quote:

The course consists of a minimum of 25 hours of flying training (30 hours for
applicants without a night flying qualification (aeroplane)) and 250 hours of
theoretical knowledge instruction. The flying training may be reduced by 10 hours
for holders of valid Instrument Ratings or of a Course Completion Certificate for the
Basic Instrument Flight Module.

(CAP 804, p91)

You can do the training but not have it issued while a ppl.

But if you don't have it issued you can't use it.
