To be honest, it's to prove to courts that my life is on the straight and narrow. I've always had huge interest in computers and the likes of them, thought it'd be a good path.. Not gonna stop me anyways, I need to keep myself busy

With Rehab Ireland, not really formal education more back-to-education.

Have you tried the other way around?
See if there are any independent IT / Tech shops or IT services (thinking network installs etc) that could take you on as an apprenticeship (see if Ireland offers any tax / business support as a supporting case for taking you on) THEN use that as leverage to get applied onto a local college course or even something open like a city and guilds / nvq or similar?
Just thinking to try and work the course around you and whats going on now rather than them looking back at the past

I really like these ideas... I guess getting that call to say, sorry we can't take you on has dampened the mood too much. I'm going to look into apprenticeships now!
Zion, thanks ya big bully ;P

I know in the UK if you take someone on like that you can get massive tax breaks and in some cases 50% of that person wage covered there are other perks as well if you take on people in specific areas and backgrounds.
I'm thinking if you was pro active about it (show a go get em attitude) and crank up the computing enthusiasm by 1000% someone might take you on if you reach out to them - colleges and that with courses won't be as fussy then I don't think.
Thats the one down fall of our society once you done your time - they don't really let you move on from it. The system is broken like that I think but thats another thing totally.
I've not been "educated" for some time so I don't know the latest trends and patterns - there's nothing online you can do or I assume the cost will be something daft like 3k

BHW has proven to be the only community/employer/job-finder that has broken this exception for me

We had a program like that for people just out of the military here in the States that I really took advantage of for a while.
They paid 50% of their salary for a period of time (I think 6 months) and we got a tax break also.
I had some unusual characters and some solid citizens during that time and after 6 months if they did not catch on I let them go but if they did I gave them a raise and a permanent position.
I'm not even sure how I found about the program to apply for it as we didn't have internet as we have now to search for that sort of thing but I bet that if you did some searching, @CPANathan, you'll find more than one program that will fit into that round hole they have for you as to the requirements for the rehab deal.

@BassTrackerBoats I really thought any college's or formal places of education would turn people away straight away, this college about 2 hours away from me seems to take into account the convictions compared to the person...

"However, the University will take any relevant criminal convictions of a prospective applicant into account when considering applications for admission, and reserves the right to refuse to admit an applicant where his/her previous criminal conviction makes it inappropriate for him/her to be admitted. A relevant criminal conviction (“Relevant Conviction”) is: a. any conviction in Ireland or abroad for an offence against the person, whether of a violent or sexual nature (whether or not a custodial sentence was imposed in respect of such conviction); or b. any conviction in Ireland or abroad for an offence involving unlawfully supplying controlled drugs or substances where the conviction concerns commercial drug dealing or trafficking (whether or not a custodial sentence was imposed in respect of such conviction). For the avoidance of doubt, a conviction or finding of guilt to which section 258 of the Children Act, 2001 applies is not considered to be a Relevant Conviction. "
Man words are getting twisted in my head again, does this mean convicted dealers can be assessed or does it mean they don't look into them
