    Facing perspective of loosing my job amid of current covid19 disaster, I came to old good FAS website and got shocked with "FAS had been Dissolved" information. Trying to see opportunities in current difficulties I was wondering about getting some up skill path with help of the FAS but I am now all confused with so many options and have no idea what to even start with. Any help?

    FAS is gone 7 years!,
    Intreo have taken over jobseekers services.
    Your local ETB have taken over training services AFAIK

    Is there any website for Intreo as I cant find any?

    Further to question - what is current path for people who loose their jobs and wish to upskill or change their career path?
    Is https://www.fetchcourses.ie/ the place to look for possible options (second link on www.fas.ie)?

    They come under the DSP

    I'm not sure they have a website, the link provides a list of their local offices.
    https://www.gov.ie/en/directory/category/e1f4b5-intreo-offices/?referrer=/en/service/40cf48-find-your-local-intreo-office/

    Have a look at fetchcourses.ie or ecollege.ie(just seen your response, after I typed this)
    They are a good starting point.
    Contact you local ETB training center, depending on where you are in the country, it is probably a former FAS centre. They will be able to point you in the right direction.

    I know that page, it says "BETA This is a prototype - your feedback will help us to improve it." since October. I was not sure if this is real live Intreo website.
