Agree with everything Send Clowns says.
I'm curious, though - why the switch from integrated to distance learning? They are totally oposite extremes!
If you're looking for something slightly less structured than integrated studying, but where you're not just left alone to get on with it, you can do a modular course, but attend full-time groundschool to study for the exams. If you're the kind of person for whom integrated courses broadly appeal, then this might suit you better?
(Not that there's anything wrong with distance learning, of course - I did distance learning myself, as have many others. But it's certainly not for everyone.)
Good luck!
