I think Stuart has picked up on your sentence which says"....none of the paye was done for the self employed ........" and his interpretation is probably fair as PAYE does not relate to the self employed.
On the question of qualification you are now a member of a regulated body so within that regulation you can carry out work up to the level of qualification. So you are not covered for either PAYE or Self Assessment until you have the relevant qualifications.
It is a big step to take in the self employed world and it can take a long time to get to where you want to be, sometimes, as some members have indicated, you only have to shake the tree and the clients fall out, in other cases you start chopping the tree down and find that it was the wrong tree.
I was employed for thirty two years and have been self employed for the last twelve. I much prefer the latter although even with that under my belt I am finding it tough in a climate which is difficult for us all.
Maybe try to combine what you are qualified to do (at whatever level) with something else whilst working towards higher qualification and at the same time building your confidence.
