Distance Learning Advice

Hi

I'm seeking some advice from those of you out there who have completed the ATPL exams via distance learning.

I'm probably going to start a course with Bristol in March. I have a full time job and a daily 3 hour round trip commute. Hence I'm not going to be able to commit masses of time to learning each day - majority will be weekends. I'm estimating about 10 hours per week.

Thus I'm setting myself the target of finishing all 14 exams by Dec 2010 - not stretching I know but I want to be realistic!!!

My concern is when it comes to revising for brush up and exam time that my knowledge of what I covered in say the first month of my learning will be very limited as I may have forgotten lots of stuff.

I'm not a stupid fella by any stretch of the imagiation but I would like some feedback from those of you who took a longer time,say 18 months plus, to complete the groundschool element.

Thanks
llen
