    I think at this stage it may be tomorrow, I phoned them up earlier and all they said was keep checking PAC and the results would be out this week. It's so frustrating.

    unsuccessful in the Irish exam to do it through irish....and I'm fluent as well. doesn't help to be sick doing the exam and struggle to write half a page!! Can't say I'm dissapointed, I knew coming out of it but was hoping that the Interview would carry me through!

    On to 2nd round offers and hope for the best i guess! Congrats to everyone who got theirs though and good luck finding a school and all!!

    Do the majority get it straight away? or is there a high unsuccessful rate?! It's the first thing that I've ever gone for, or exam that I havn't done well in.. but that is life!!

    My bro got an offer from NUIM today. He's thrilled.

    Quick question though; is it one or two years? I know there was lots of talk on it being made two, but was it upped?

    Hi, I am thinking of applying next year to the PDE and PGDE/PGCE. What I want to ask is if anybody knows what, if any, EU countries recognise these qualifications? Where is the Irish one recognised? I know that England recognises the PGDE from Scotland but not the other way around. I want to have the option to move to Europe to work in a state or International school, which I read went by English curriculum, in which case the PGDE would be useless. Has anybody worked in International schools in Europe or know what countries accept the PGCE to teach there?

    Got accepted to UCD today!
    I know schools are off now until 16th of April but anyone know the best way of finding a complete list of secondary schools in the greater Dublin area to apply to for TP or has anyone started looking into this?

    This is a couple of years old I think at this stage but seems to be very comprehensive:

    Got UCC. Delighted. Has anyone any advice on applying to schools? Is it just a matter of going around to the schools and dropping in your CV? How many schools is everyone going to apply to? Also, what happens if you can't find a school?

    We've been told it'll be two years from 2013.

    It's never happened that you can't get a school. There are loads of schools in Cork and most would love some Dip students. There are people this year doing the Dip in Youghal, Bandon, Skib, Dungarvan even. That's a massive area with a large number of schools.

    Nope not yet. I emailed them yesterday & they replied saying candidates would be notified this week via the PAC system. So we just have to wait it out I think. Really frustrating! I just wanna know so I can start trying to sort out my TP if I've gotten a place.

    Hi all,

    I have just joined Boards as I have been following this thread for awhile!!
    Thanks to everyone for posting its been really helpful!
    I got offered a place in NUIG yesterday, super excited!! But also totally scared! Probably normal reaction! I am just wondering does anyone know when we need to have paid the 260 euro??

    Also if I have already completed a Masters does that mean I will not be eligible for a Grant? :-(

    Got an offer from NUIG yesterday and an offer from Trinity today. Think I'm going to go for NUIG as I did my degree there, but does anyone have any opinion on which is the better course??
