    Many moons again I left school at 16 to persue an apprienticeship. Now though with things as they are I was thinking of maybe doing a college course in maybe something like book keeping or accountancy in Dorset St College. Do you normally need your leaving cert for this? Or as a mature student could I pay the €3k a year fees and study whatever.

    Are you available to do your course during the day, or do you need a part-time course?

    If you contact the Adult Education section of your local VEC they will have a range of courses in all sorts of topics. The fees for their courses will be very small in comparison to private colleges like Dorset.

    You can enter many PLC courses without a Leaving Cert..

    Your local vec should have an adult education adviser who could sit down and give you advice. If you live in Dublin city centre then cdvec is your local vec

After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
