Newly unemployed, interested in free training.

Hi all,
I've recently taken voluntary redundancy. I'm in a reasonable financial position, having a property related pre-tax income of c. £20K/yr, and so don't expect to be entitled to anything in the way of benefits. However, I do intend to work again, but in a totally different field, and wonder if I would be entitled to enrol on some free training courses. I guess I would firstly need to register as unemployed. Can anybody give me any advice on my next moves?

(It is worth applying for contributions based jobseekers allowance if you are looking for a new job. You will be entitled to this for 6 months if you have made enough NI contributions over the past 18 months.)Ex board guide. Signature now changed (if you know, you know).0
