What does this conversation mean? What does 'boots' mean?

- Micky Flanagan (to a woman in the audience): Have you got an education?

- Woman: Not really.

- Flanagan: How far did you get in your education?

- Woman: Boots.

- Flanagan: Boots? How high up were you in boots?

- Woman: Consultant.

- Flanagan: See! I told you you look like quality.

This is a part of a conversation that Micky Flanagan had with an audience member during a comedy performance (Micky Flanagan: Out Out Tour). (I watched this performance on YouTube.)

What does 'boots' mean? And what does this conversation mean - what kind of education does this woman have?

Update:

Micky Flanagan is an English comedian. He has a thick cockney accent. The performance was in Essex.
