In France, I think adults would start by checking with their OPCA to find out what kind of training is available, and to get a list of the "centres de formation professionnels". Here's an interesting link:

TOPIC STARTER | More expensive | Aug 17, 2008 |
I have the impression that the cost of some trainings are more expensive in the UK than elsewhere in Europe. £395 for a course about networks, whereas for that money i can get 8 courses in other countries: theory about computers, website building/programming, databases, Vba and 120 hours of VB.net at a price of £180
