I’m in the same situation. I work PT in another role that may/will eventually leads to FT class 1 work but how long that will take is anyone’s guess.
In the meantime im trying to find some Ad hoc or part time work on the days I can currently do each week. Agencies so far are not interested.
Edit: I did the 3 theories in 1 day, then my mod 4, then class 2, then class 1.
