You need to sit the ATPL exams, then take an ATPL skill test.

Thanks for the reply, it seem to refer to EASA conversion, I hold both an Australian and UAE licence ….. do they give no credits for the exams whatsoever ? I will call them when I’m in the UK also but just gathering some infos. Ty

I’m busy with the process currently.
I hold an ICAO ATPL. If you have a multi-pilot type rating and 500 hours on multi-pilot aircraft, you qualify for an exemption from the ground school and can simply book exams and write. Unfortunately no exemption from the 13 exams.
Once you’ve completed the exams, you need a UKCAA Class 1 medical and the flight test can be conducted in a simulator for which you have the 500 Multi-Pilot hours, you are exempt from having to complete any “training” through an ATO.

Open an account on the UKCAA portal and register for exams. When registering a training organization, select EAT (Exempt Approved Training) Then send them copies of your logbook, endorsements, current licenses etc, via email. Once they’ve approved you for EAT, you can then book exams.
I’ve studied this stuff before so some of it I am familiar with. So I purely do the questions on ATPLQ, when I don’t understand something, I use the explanations and I also signed up for the BGS webinars, to watch them and try get my head around it.
It’s done the trick so far. The exams aren’t rocket science but it’s more the time consuming aspect that can get frustrating.
Good luck!
