Holding B1 And B2 Licences

Just wanted to get the thoughts of Licensed Engineers out there about taking the Part 66 Licensed Engineering courses. I am looking to start at studying for the B2 (Avionics) modules to get the Licence and hopefully in time build up the 5 years practical experience required to make taking the exams into an eventual licence. I have decided on Avionics as that interests me the most however I very much enjoyed the gas turbines part of my National Diploma in Aerospace Engineering.

Is taking the modules for both the B1 and B2 a good idea? E.g. Can it work in the real world to have a B1 and B2 licence combined.

I am considering the “Licence by Post” option and searching for an employer (a 38 yr old in midlife retrain/crisis!). Ideally I would enrol on a fulltime course however it’s not feasible with everyday commitments.

Thanks again
