Definatley do-able.

With you there mcgoo,

eg City of Bristol College, (this is a few years back).

1 A level (1 year intensive course)= 3hr lesson once a week from 1900-2200

3 a levels= 9 hours a week, (outside normal 9-5 hours) + 6 hours home study. total 15 hours

normal working shift 0900-1730 (ish-if you're lucky) Mon-Fri= 40 hours

total 55 hours.

So not only does this not interfere with your money saving work plans, it leaves a whole 113hrs a week to do whatever the devil you like!

P.S, Not a slight by the way, just letting you know its totally possible!

PPS, the operation of large (or in fact any) aircraft is not reccommended for a large part of said 113hours as, dependant on physical conditioning you may require some sleep/rest time during this period.
