CPL Flight Test

Hi All. Didn't know where else to post this general question so I thought this is the most appropriate.
I am trying to arrange my CPL flight test and depending which organisation I talk to they give me a different answer about the pre-requisites.
I have all the mandatory hours and PIC times required but some of the companies tell me I need to be pre-tested and be 'approved/recommended/ for the flight test.
Some want me to do a full training course and twin engine endorsement (I suspect they are self interested).
Some tell me I can't use the Cessna Cutlass RG as it is not fast enough - even at TAS of 130kts

Hey Brenton,
The first point you make sounds fairly normal, the second one doesn't at all and neither does the third. I know at my school, before each licence a student must do what's called 'pre licence', basically a mock flight test with a G1 instructor. This way they can recommend you are up to flight test standard on behalf of the CFI.
As far as using the Cutlass, it shouldn't be a problem so long as it's CSU/VP and a TAS of at least 120kt, they're the only requirements.
Page 1-7 of the syllabus nuts out all the details between the 150hr or 200hr CPL course.
