AFAIK you will not be considered for a FAS course. You have to be registered unemployed and the only way to do that is in your case have a jobseekers allowance claim. I know you say your wife is working but have you applied for Jobseekers Allowance. If not I would advise you to do so and be means tested and even if you are only entitled to xx amount you will be in a position to apply for FAS course.
