I'm not entirely sure, but I think the experience requirements for a Part66 can be up to 5 Years before you can get a licence, this however can be reduced depending on your backround! Thas a lot of "Joe soaping".
I take it your over in Ireland. I know SR technics are looking for Apprentices at Dublin, that would be four years but you'd get more Experience, or maybe Shannon Aerospace I think they turn trainees out in approx 2 years.
Hangar experiece is best if your starting out.
