An apprenticeship is probably the 'easiest' way to become an engineer as you will be in employment after completion in most cases. There used to be an age limit for apprentices, but as far as I know it was removed. Virgin, Monarch, Ryanair, Flybe, Thomas Cook and KLM all offer apprenticeships.
Or there is the option of going to a college that do courses for Cat A or B1/B2, such as Kingston or LRTT.
Also, you can study for the licence modules and take the exams in your own time and out of your own pocket.
