I don't think that is the case. Someone with the time to upgrade is completing FO initial and SOE. If their seniority and previous time qualifies them for a CA position in that timeframe, then they are awarded as such and begin CA training thereafter. The training syllabus for upgrades is a repeat of initial minus the indoc. However I don't believe it is allowed to "double up" the courses just because someone has the time.
