Would be best to ask your prospective employer tbh.

You can certainly apply to do just 1 subject in the leaving cert. The application fee is a little over €100 for external students although there can be exemptions for medical card holders etc. Colleges would accept passes from more than one leaving cert because they have set rules in place. However individual employers may differ. Some would see it as a positive that you have applied yourself to a leaving cert subject again. Others might look for 5 passes in one leaving cert
