    Hi guys can anyone recommend any sites where I could learn skills for jobseeking? I'm trying to further my chances of getting a job by learning new skills maybe bookkeeping anything etc I'm a qualified adult under my boyfriends jobseeker claim so I can't apply to fas courses or anything.

    I apply weekly to jobs and no luck it's my own fault due to no 3rd level qualifications or recent references

    Check out springboard for free 3rd level courses. Also the skillnets offer free short courses.

    You need to recheck this, someone is giving you misinformation - happily

    Qualified adults are eligible for most 2nd and 3rd level courses = http://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/thirdleveloption.aspx

    Qualified adults are also eligible for Springboard courses - http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/education/third_level_education/applying_to_college/third_level_places_for_unemployed_people.html

    There is a spousal/partner swap scheme in place with FAS

    Qualifed adults are eligible for Skillnet.ie courses too.
