Some counties will allow it. However, generally they want you to sign up for it at the start of the promotion year. I've no idea which counties allow it, so it may be worth giving your RDO a call to see if your county offers it - if it would be something you'd be interested in.
However, your colleague is correct, you do have to do double everything.

To clarify, you won't get assessed 6 times unless the County have agreed that you can go for the double. So, in the example you have given, the referee would need to indicate he would like to apply for double jump and agree that he can do so with the County RDO.
If you are interested, and good enough, there is no reason not to have the conversation with the RDO even at this stage of the season, but they won't know unless you talk with them. There are also a number of people who feel double jumps are bad development moves, so also consider the implications.

I'm going for double this year (6-4).
Do whatever you feel comfortable with
You're going 6-5 then its up to the county to nominate you to the FA for level 4.

No, 5 to 4 is a definitive step. Yes it's up to the FA to accept it, but 6-4 is a double jump as it covers two promotions.
And pedant of the week.....
In doing the double jump, they like you to have reached the required number of matches and assessments by the end of Sept, so they don't waste resources if you are not going to get the matches in.
To do the double jump, you need to have been assessed twice between march and the end of the playing season.
For the 6-4 jump, you technically need 8 assessments (3 for the 6-5 & 5 for the 5-4) and have to do 10 lines. That is some commitment - 50 matches in the marking season. That is why only the elite are selected for it if your CFA allow it.

It is the lines that will kill it, unless you have been doing some already this season. 15 Saturdays from November to February, 10 lines + 3 assessments, not much slack and definitely no closed dates. No Christmas. Shopping for you
Spam. Stick to OP
Some Sunday leagues around the country are better than some step 7 (Supply in some area's).
No, it is two promotions not a straight 7-5.
Not necessarily. You have to be confirmed at a CFA referees meeting, which may until December. It depends on the CFA when the meeting are held and how you are informed.
IE If you admin, etc is not prefect or you haven't attended the required training courses, they cannot promote at that meeting.
