Career Advice

Hello Everyone!

My first post here as I'm at a bit of a loss on how to go about getting into Aviation Engineering ( Mechanical ).

I've checked out a few different universities and courses but am still none the wiser on how to go about it.

A bit about my current situation:

I'm 26 years old, kids, mortgage and a full time job ( HGV Driver )
I don't hold a degree or even any A Levels, at best all i have is 5 GCSE's A-C including science, maths and english.

At the moment ( to the best of my knowledge ) my best option seems to be undertaking a honors degree with the open university. Apprenticeships sadly aren't really an option for me due to wages, also a full time degree studying at a campus isn't really viable either as I have a mortgage like many!

I was just wondering if there is something else i can do to get my foot in the door, whether it be some form of night / weekend school/college/ university etc, or even better a distance learning type course.

Thank you all for reading and i thank you in advance for any replies this post gets

James
