I was in exactly your situation last year around October time. Did not know whether to hit the ATPLs full time or Modular. Then, it was like something hit me with a ton of bricks. We were in a serious economic depression and there was absolutely no reason for me to finish asap as in 6months. For that reason, I looked in to distance learning courses and decided it was Bristol.
I am now through my module 1 after 18 weeks and I can honestly say, the material has been very very well written and can be easily digested. I am not one of the smartest individuals in maths and have been able to cope with it, without needing somebody to teach me in class.
I think your in an excellent position and that you should consider training part time so that when you do complete the 14 exams, you can review the employment state within the airlines and start your CPL when the economy grows. You have 3 years remember, from the date of your last examination pass.
Trust me mate, do it distance learning and you will get through it.
