Online study
Due to the "spare time" I found myself with over the last few months, I started looking for courses that I could do online. There is an Advanced Diploma in Aviation advertised in the Pilot Jobs section of The Australian Federation of Airline Pilots website and offers recognition of prior learning for pilot quals (Sorry cant seem to post the link)
I ended up only having to do a couple of online study units (not too heavy) and RPL for the rest. I'm now using it to get a leg up in applications to a couple of universities for their Grad Cert / Grad Dip / Masters programs (contingency planning)!
