    did the FAB myself,from what i'm hearing there will be a new course starting possibly next sept, you can talk to teagasc about registering as for working weekends, when we did it you worked for 12 days and two off , that will be up to you and student both parties must be flexible to a degree hope this helps :rolleyes:
