    One of the guys in the office did a evenng course in FAS. You might have to pay a very small tuition fee if your not on the dole etc. Do that and then get a job in bookkeeping asap, nothing like learning on the job.

    Wow he did just the course from fas thought they wouldn't be worth much in job hunting. I have seen a taxation course level 6 evening course if that's relatable

    Try to go for VAT AND Payroll courses. The more studying you can do in VAT and PAYE will benefit you long term.
