i haven't heard of anyone giving away a free a&p but you could always apprentice while working at a small fbo. If you work under the supervision of an a&p and get two years of experience, that a&p can sign you off to take the required writtens and o&p's. It takes quite a bit to get your license and most places will want you to make a commitment if they apprentice you. Your best bet to get it done the fastest would be to go to a part 147 school.
