A few months ago I was aware of the FÁS schemes for subsidising training programmes leading to certification for professionals based in the private sector. At the time I was in the public sector and was not eligible, but now I'm about to switch back. There are several certification exams that I would like to sit, but before I do that I would like to receive training. Are there any schemes available at the moment for training.

I'm interested in a diverse range of things like SCJP, A+, CEH, Network+, Linux+, amongst many others.

What are my options?

Maybe a stupid question but do you not have to be like unemployed to take the courses?
