I appreciate the advice, I personally enjoyed networking while I was at my apprenticeship but college isn't something I can do right now as I don't have the funds to pay for the terms there, also I think that I would need to be looking at paying for an exam myself and studying for it. Not really sure it's been awhile since I've been near the IT environment kinda makes me feel like I wouldn't be competent enough it's been that long.
I don't tell them my age nor does my CV contain that but soon as it gets to the interview stage that's always where it goes boom haha..
edit: guess if I was good at the talking game then that would be no problem but i'm not one of those few who walk interviews like they are nothing!

Make sure you are on linkedin, and hit up everyone you know. I can't explain how many recruiters have come after me on that site. Amazon, Msoft, Nintendo, Apple, Exxon Mobil.
Also, if you aren't sure what direction you want to go as an IT a few suggestions would be CyberSecurity (Fastest growing and least filled job out there), Healthcare related IT development (Obvious implications), and filling a position for an Oil company (They pay very well, and with the new shale oil they will start exporting they will boom within 2 years)
