Some circling minimums are BELOW VFR criteria. If the airline trained as well as is authorized to circle that type of aircraft at minimums that are below VFR, there would be no restriction on the type rating.
At my previous company, we trained to circle at the circling mins, later this was changed to "VMC only". You didn't get a new certificate changing your type, but per the FOM is was no longer allowed to perform a circle below VFR WX criteria.
