company called ASA do a study package for the p.c which is very good.basically just lets you do an exam and marks you , plus gives answers so that you can see which areas you need to study . i did about six days on it then did exams. did written tests in twickenham then practical/oral in frankfurt. going to states is easiest option . did mine about six years ago and had to have letter from US airline stating that my employer had a contract for maint with them to even get application in to FAA. BEST OF LUCK !
