    limerick used to be the only option to go to but i think gmit letterfrack has a course now. As far as i am aware you wont have to do the four years, think you get to skip first year. Pretty hard to get into i think, a couple of my mates have gone back to do it. during the boom you would have laughed at the thought but now it seems like a good idea. even considered it myself for a while. i know of a few lads who got in teaching one in fas and another into a school but think it was pure luck just with basic qualifications. Carpentry one of them cabinet making the other.

    jakko - There are no jobs in FAS training carpentry/cabinet making apprentices because there are no apprentices coming through in these trades. Its a pity because I feel we should be training a few classes of these a year :(

    I know that boat building may not be your thing or this type of teaching but they might have other courses you could look into, I guess anything is worth a shot. http://afloat.ie/resources/business/jobs-and-careers/item/17439-fas-job-opportunity-fas-project-co-ordinator-in-athlone-co-westmeath

    Another place that might be worth a look is http://www.menssheds.ie/

    Best of luck.

    thanks guys was hoping to find a part time course so i could earn a bit of money to pay the bills etc. but its not looking good,looks like id have to start from scratch on a full time 4 year course which is very disapointing, i know hindsight is 20/20 but jesus looking back i dont know what i was thinkin not looking into it when i was looking at my cao choices....
