Did mine yesterday..

1. Primary Teaching Mary I
2. Arts UCC
3. Public Administration UL
4. Early Childhood Studies UCC
5. Liberal Arts Mary I

I shall add more later.. just wanted to get it started!

Being realistic (NOT negitive!) I proberly wont get Primary Teaching and will end up doing Arts.. the only thing is Im worried that I wont find a job after with an Arts degree and usually you have to continue to do another course after Arts.. What I hope to do is go into Primary Teaching from arts but so many people are doing that so its hard to get into the course.. what other jobs besides teaching can you get from an Arts degree

You should definately put down the three other primary teaching colleges as well as Mary I. Pats is usually 5 points lower and Marino and Froebel are another 5 below that.

Also, if you plan to do an arts degree to get into primary teaching at a later stage it is better to do the arts degree in either Mary I or Pats.

One other thing to remember is that the number of post-grad conversion to primary teaching courses has been seriously cut by the government this year and it's future is not guranteed. As an option, you could do this course in England but remember you will have to complete an Irish exam once you return and begin to teach. Also getting a job in Ireland with an English degree might prove more difficult as a degree from an Irish teacher training college might be more respected.

Just filled out mine now:)

1. TR071 Science

Although i'll be adding more/changing that:p

Check out the website for the Psychology Society of Ireland (PSI) http://www.psihq.ie/ or give them a ring for advice. Becoming a psychologist requires a post graduate degree and usually a two year trainee-ship fyi.

Professional Griefer

Anyone willing to give us a hand here? I'm confused.

Ok so before I did my CAO i did the test one on it thing, not sure of the proper name for it.
Anyways during it it asked for my schools adress and such.

When I did my real CAO there the last day I was never asked for it.

Only for the ones that I've attended, with my top one being the one I'm currently at, 08-10, so have I done it all properly?

Also, I have all 10 levels 8's down, and 2 level 6/7's, is that my CAO done now and I need to do nothing else?

Sorry if this is very unclear and such, but I am confused, and sorry if its stupid and obvious or whatever but I really don't know if I'm done.
Thanks.

Dont worry, it is kinda confusing.

On your CAO under where you added your courses does it say 'Modify Your Qualifications and Assessment Details'? or something like that? If it does click it and thats where you put your school details. Well thats what I seem to have done looking at mine anyway.

And yep you can put as many or as few (well 1 at least obviously) Courses as you like. I just filled up 10 Level 8's and 1 Level 6/7. I'm not too sure what we do after that. I think we just leave it and take it that details have been submitted.

I still haven't done mine Still trying to decide on courses, i know i can change them but don't know what order to put them in now.

It's ten euro cheaper if you register before the 20th of January after that it has to be in by the 1st of Feb. The price doubles if you have it in any later but then it has to be in before May and when it's in you can change it until July. All on here www.cao.ie if you want to know more.

Yup, from when the Change of Mind opens in May until it closes in July you can add or remove courses 10 times a day every day if you want! The only exception is that you CANNOT add Restricted courses after 1st February. This includes courses like Medicine, Music, Drama, anything that requires a test or audition other than the Leaving Cert itself.

DB10

Is there anyway you can change it between Feb 1st and May?? And how do you pay for it??

I thought I heard something that you cant add normal courses after February 1st just chenge the order of your selections?? Thats not true is it??

you can change it between the 5th febuary-1st March. But a $10 fee appplies.
You pay for it using debit/credit card.
One person said you can add/remove courses, so I hope she's right!

Eire-Dearg

They really go out of there way to make it as confusing as they possibly can eh?

yo!its_yoyo

Amd they do a good job of it aswell!

Afaik you can add/remove courses between February and May, but you have to pay for it. Dunno why you'd do that when it opens free in May, maybe if you needed to put a restricted course down?

Either way, you can change the order/add/remove any non-restricted course as often as you like during the change of mind period.

ithoughtitwasap

Haven't sent mine off yet, keep putting it off for some reason, must be a psychological thing! :P

I was thinking:

English - Trinners
Arts - UCD
Arts - Trinners
Arts - Maynooth

I was at the Trinity and Maynooth open days, Maynooth looked really good, though I know I'd just end up going into Dublin every other day, wasting all my money. And I didn't even get into English or Arts showcases in Trinity, place was jammers. =[

If I do Arts, it'll be with English, Philosophy and Sociology, preferrably. I know they're options in Maynooth, but I don't think they work out in Trinity or UCD, considering Trinity's course is a two-subject moderatorship.

The other thing I liked about Maynooth is the Arts International course, I'd love to study abroad for a year, but realistically, I don't know!

aimerlans

i have finally decided

1. Civil Law DCU
2. Law & Acc UL

Orlaladuck

Ah crap! I made my CAO account but then realised I made a typo and typed in my DOB wrong. I'm out by about 10 days. If I ring the CAO office tomorrow, do you think they can alter it to my correct date of birth? I know it was a stupid thing to do but I really want it sorted out. To be safe, I haven't chosen my courses yet and have only set up with account with credit card details etc.

Once you've gone through, I'm pretty sure you can edit personal info ie. address etc so you might be able to edit your DOB yourself

Really? I had a quick look and there didn't appear to be an option for it.

I remember a pop-up appeared to clairfy that all the information was correct, and I clicked ok. I assumed after that I couldn't change it. I obviously realised that I typed in my DOB wrong after I tried to log in.
