Answer
Hi Carlos,
In USA there is numerous institutions where you can obtain training for an A&P license. Depending on city you live you'll have at least 2-3 facilities where you can obtain an A&P training. The most economical is definetellly Community College versus Private Aviation Maintenance  collegies.
Now in order to obtain training, and get an depiloma from school, You'll HAVE to attend classes, as there is no distance training for A&P license. You HAVE TO HAVE on hand training, in order to get experience, and that is main part of course, On HAND TARINING...
Good Luck
Ismar
