    Yes you can. No offense seems like a waste of time to be honest! Contact your local secondary school or VEC!

    Don't contact local schools, they are unlikely to enrol you for one subject.

    You need to contact the SEC in January and register to sit Music as an external student.

    It will be seen as a repeat Leaving and you will be charged the repeat fee.
    I did Art in the Leaving a few years ago (first Leaving 1980) - never a waste of time to further your education.

    But wouldn't s/he need to contact them to get permission to be an external candidate there before contacting the SEC?

    No, the SEC will ask what centre the candidate would like - usually the closest geographically.

    If there was some reason the school didn't want the OP in the building (unlikely, but in an extreme situation, maybe they burned down a lab when they were at school there) then the SEC would assign another.

    Schools get their lists of external candidates usually in May - for the purposes of assigning centres/readers/attendants etc.. If they cannot cope with the numbers assigned to them, they contact Athlone and they will send some elsewhere.
