EC DKN
I was also modular and was working full time during training. Took me 6 years to complete training. Never give up and believe in yourself.
DelayReducer
The possible delay in start date is so that once you start, there is no further delays during the training period from day 1 to line check. I am guessing until you start day 1, you are your own free agent to do as you wish. A friend of mine waited 12 months for his start date. He's now in NZ.
