consumer law or IT.

I am not to fussed about the level of qualification as i am just doing it as a sideline.

Many thanks for your interest:beer:

The level of qualification is important, as is what you want to do with it. If you just want it for enjoyment there are some excellent MOOCs available?

If it is enjoyment, try Coursera. Alternatively Open University has good options.

If you want a career in IT, I think experience is more important than qualifications. Go on learningpeople.co.uk, get a few certifications under your belt and get an entry level IT job. You can then do further courses/certifications to specialise in a certain area, while gaining experience in your current role at the same time.

If you want to gain IT skills, I would recommend studying for specific exam(s), such as one of the Microsoft ones. They tend to be quite challenging. You're more likely to gain knowledge that way than just by taking a course that gives a certificate for haven taken the course.
