I do know that you would struggle to get on the Intergrated courses, as they ask for a minimum of a couple of A-level passes. Going modular I can't forsee a problem, although not having A-levels may count against you when getting your first job.

Intergrated does not require A-Levels. Oxford Aviation for example require only GCSE's and the ability to pass their apptitude assessment & then be offered a place. However, "sponsored" courses such as the ones Oxford Aviation, do require A-Levels.

I have passed the Oxford aptitude assessment and I am ready to place my deposit. I am just concerned that having no a-levels will make it very hard to find employment. I am 26 and currently work as a company director/engineer for an air-conditioning company. Wont my work experience count for something?

yes your work and life experiences will be invaluable to you prospective employer, even more so as they are things to bring up in interview so don't be too worried about it, if you were my age (20) with no work/career experience and no alevels that might be different.
good luck and work hard, look forward to seing you around OAA!

who said BA is out of the question?
you have work experience which is of higher value to them than a levels.
as long as you have good groundschool results and have above 3's in your progress tests during the goodyear phase you have a chance im sure.
