In the same boat as you,need to work full time.I work shifts which cover 24/7.Having finished yesterday after 8 straight days including a couple of 12hr shifts,coming home and studying can be a bit of a bind.
I started with Bristol in March.I try and study 3/4 hrs on working days and 5/6 on my days off.So far it has not been too bad ...however there is very little time for anything else.I am lucky enough to have an understanding wife who has accepted that sod all will get done around the house for the next 12 mths...("What do you mean no change there??")...Bristol`s notes are in my opinion excellent......I`ve just recieved an update of the notes that included a complete rewrite of one of the chapters to include more detail on Tacho`s as the JAA thought it would be a nice little wheeze to ask loads of questions about them in the last couple of exams.
People are passing with Distance learning and holding a full time job,but in my opinion you should commit yourself as much as possibe....all guns blazing or you won`t get through.It has not been that difficult so far....but the sheer volume of the amount of material is mind blowing.
