Hey it is definitely possible to still do your leaving cert. You can apply to do a VTOS course which is for people aged over 21, so every1 will be in the same boat as you. Not 100% sure but i think u can do this part time. Also, i dont know much about louth but some counties have adult education centres which also enable you to do a course, it is not the leaving cert but it carries the same leaving cert qualification and enables you to progress onto further education or a third level course. If you are in work and wanting to engage in eucation i would suggest maybe finding out about a Back to Education Allowence (BTEA) from Social Welfare as this would be worth more money to you than a grant from the vec, as they are constantly cutting the grants by substantial amounts due to government cuts.. Anyway hope this was of some help to you, and best of luck !hi just wondering if any one could help me , i left school about 15 years ago without doing my leaving cert . and at the moment i am working a dead end job with no real chance of going anywhere. i really regret no doing my leaving and was thinking of packing in the job and returning to finish my leaving but dont know how to go about it?? i would like to do a full time course if possible. how long will it take? and can i do it with the vec? really confused, thanks0 -
