Only go the BSc route if you want a degree. It will not help you to get a job as a "B2" technician. It may help you later on to get a position as a "C" licensed Engineer. Have you signed up for enhanced learning credits? If so use them. Barry College (now known as Cardiff Vale) will do you a reasonable package. Most of the modules are possible as distance learning but for others (6, 7 & 10 for instance) they do run short revision courses. Most of the modules are generic but, if I am remembering correctly, 11 is fixed wing, 12 is helicopters specific and 13 is avionic specific.
If cash and time are not an issue then invest with Lufthansa at Kemble, the downside here is that it is full time studying. Remember you will need to gain experience in the industry to go with your modules (and by the way your module passes are now lifed for 10 years).
