One path is supervised on-the-job training: log the practical experience required under 14 CFR 65.77 under a certificated mechanic, document it (FAA Form 8610-2), then pass the FAA written, oral, and practical tests (14 CFR 65.75).

No degree or A&P school is required to start. To be certificated, the FAA requires you to be at least 18 and able to read, write, speak, and understand English (14 CFR 65.71); you earn the experience itself by logging supervised on-the-job training under a certificated mechanic (14 CFR 65.77).

Under 14 CFR 65.77, you need at least 18 months of documented practical experience for a single rating (Airframe or Powerplant), or 30 months working both at the same time, under a certificated mechanic — then you pass the FAA written, oral, and practical tests.
