Peter, some subjects are credited such as Meteorology , Human factors, and radio telephony of course.

This means the CPL candidate will need to do Air law, POF & ATG and Nav and Planning ground school and exams. ( Nav and planning is an advisory )

Then practical flight training followed by skills test when the candidate is ready.

my personal suggestion focus on CPL there is more work around than there is for RPL.
