Distance Learning and Short Courses

Gents,

Having checked the FAQs thread, I'm looking for some advice regarding study towards advancement in the R&D areas of the industry. By way of precis, I'm a 28 year old 2000 hour pilot with a UK regional airline and have a background of basic A levels in non-science subjects (I'm something of a late developer academically).

As such, particularly with the time constraints of line flying, I've been looking towards foundation and distance learning courses that would aid me with an aim to eventually take a sabbatical and complete a degree pertinent to advancing onto a test flying course/career. Having looked at everything from A Level maths to OU and some of the courses offered later on by Cranfield et al, I'm a little unsure as to what would be an effective next step.

Can anyone suggest any good courses that can keep me developing whilst still managing my day job?

Regards

SK
