Totally agree with 2Close there.
I was in IT before a later in life career change and Distance Learned for the ATPL while working so made it financially viable. Took about a year to get all the study and exams done then on to the CPL etc.
Also I read some statistic about people who sign up for the theory but dont complete it (cant remember what it was though). But £2000 for a distance learning theory course is cheaper than 70k integrated to realise you cant be bothered.
