What course should i take for a career in IT?

hi,

Im looking to make a career change from the financial services industry into the IT industry. Im 27 and my knowledge of computers is basic. I have done some beginners courses with Java and can setup a home network and troubleshoot PC problems but apart from that im pretty much at beginners level.

Ive been looking at the full time courses in Belfast met college –>

http://www.belfastmet.ac.uk/Docs/Courses/ft2011.pdf

and also some of the part time courses->

http://www.belfastmet.ac.uk/Docs/Courses/pt2011web.pdf

Im a bit confused as to what course to go for. My ultimate goals would be to become an accredited Microsoft or network technician.

The part-time would obviously facilitate a normal working lifestyle to pay the bills and standard costs of living as opposed to a full time course which would require me to get a part-time job and scrap by to pay the bills. Obviously I would have to balance the sacrifice of a full time course with the outcome of a good qualification that can get me started in the industry right away!

the par-time courses ive considered are:

Java for beginners (leading onto further programming courses and useful to have)
comptia network+ ( I could do this in conjunction with the java course to give myself a good base for a higher level qualification next year)
implementing a Microsoft SQL server 2008 database ( I have no previous experience with this so I think this would jumping in a little too deep especially as one of the courses prerequisites is a strong programming knowledge)

The full time course would either be:

A level in ICT (leading onto a degree (looking at potentially 5years of fulltime education…perhaps not practical with a family to support and bills to be paid)

an OCR Procom level 3 Diploma_>

http://www.ocr.org.uk/qualifications/type/qcf/procom/ict_pro_com_l3_dip/

(again this is 2 years fulltime but would lead to a degree and would give me a good platform for immediate opportunities should I decide not to progress with higher education.

If anyone can offer any opinions or advice from their own personal perspective id be very grateful.

cheers!
