No, there is no requirement to undergo training before the skill test, but it is highly recommended.

The ATO/DTO where you have completed the recommended training programme will apply for your skill test. The skill test for the PPL, if based on a conversion from a third country licence, shall only be conducted by examiners with an EASA examiner certificate.

Contact an EASA approved ATO/DTO and have them assess how much training you will need to pass a PPL skill test, the ATO/DTO will have to make a custom training programme for you including all exercises from their PPL programme but without any flight time requirements. This recommended custom training programme will have to be applied for with the Danish CAA. Use the form Application for reduced training for holders of a third country licence
