The other thing is, its a CAA requirement to attend for the full two years if you want to reduce the time spent on the spanners from five years to two years after your course. If you just want to do the modules and then approach a prospective employer with the piece of paper in your hand, a couple of colleges do 'zero to hero' courses.
To be honest, you're better off trying to get an apprentiship. As its been said, without practical skills, you're not much use, even with all of the modules completed. The best way might be to self study a couple of the more academic modules and then apply for the apprentiship. Maths and physics (mods 1 and 2) would be a good start.
Join airmech, there's loads of people with help, advice and study notes.
Another option is join the services. I was in th RAF for 9 years. Like most people, I have never regretted joining and enjoyed most of my time in. Similarly, I'm glad I left!!!
