Leaving certificate mature student

porte

Hi,

I wonder if somebody might be able to help me,

I wish to pursue a career in primary teaching as a mature student,
I originally completed my leaving in 2000,
But I need honours Irish and one other honour subject to meet the entry requirements for Mary I,

Please could somebody tell me is there any night or day course provider in Kerry (or I am willing to travel) that does the leaving cert?

I have tried VTOS and vec and several colleges,
They are either ignoring my constant emails or do not do the Irish for the leaving cert,

I know I’m too late for the 2008 leaving,
But If I knew of a course provider I could approach them for 2009,

Any help would be much appreciated,
Thanks in advance,

Hi, A good site for you to enquire on is www.educationposts.ie

I'm in the same boat as yourself, as are lots others on that site.
I don't know about Kerry, but I do know one girl is doing it in Deanes college (i think) in Cork.

But, go on there & ask the question. You're bound to gets lots of advice.

Best of Luck.
I'm doing it again this year, 11 years after 1st sitting it!!!!

DON'T!!!

I'm currently enrolled with them & they're absolutely useless.
If you want info, PM me.

Your best bet would be to contact your local VEC to find out where offers the LCA in your area, but I don't think it's possible to do it within a year.

to the OP, you could try here if it's a Kerry based institution you are looking for, I've no idea what they are like though

Hi guys!
I know i should probably start a new thread for this but i just joined today and cant figure out how to do that!

My boyfriend left school after Junior Cert and now really wants to do his leaving cert as he wants to join the guards.
Hes 28.
He works full time and doesn't want to return to full time study and i doubt he would have time for part time classes.
Is it possible to do a distance learning leaving certificate course?

I would really appreciate any help or advice on this subject.
Thanks guys!

The only "distance learning" leaving cert option I know of is Kilroy's College, I couldn't recommend them though. It's more of an old style correspondence course than proper distance learning. I did one LC subject with them years ago and thought they were rubbish, do a search on here and see what others think.
