    Afaik Kilroys expect you to source your own exam centre for the LC. You can register through any second level or adult education school that offers the particular subject you want to sit the exam in. Just call the relevant centre and ask the principal or director .

    Also in the past Kilroys expected you to make your own arrangements to do the practical labs and experiments that are a part of the LC science courses. I'm not sure if this is still the case but it might be an idea to check it out.

    Hey.

    I never studied a Science subject in secondary school. 2009/2010 I went to Plunket college (whitehall, Dublin) to study LC higher level Biology, Im also sitting the exam there this month. Classes are 2 nights a week for 1.5hours

    I would definitely recommend it, best decision I made this year. The year flew by. My university/colleges interviews this year loved the fact I went back to do this course. It also give lots more course options if you want to go to college!
