Hi,
Where can I repeat the Leaving Cert in Wicklow, Wexford or possibly South Dublin?

I have tried my local vec and they are very limited with only six subjects and no choice.

Thanks for your help:)

Wicklow. Wicklow town only offers 5 subjects. Arklow only 6. Bray offers subjects based on having enough numbers for the subject. Will look here in more detail and in Dublin. Thanks

I would highly recommend Rathmines college.
I repeated there last year and I rose by 155 points, the teachers staff and the students are excellent and really helpful.
It cost 300 euro to repeat there, money well spent

Give us a buzz if you need more info

Thanks. Pearse college charge in €200 plus exam fees. Bray institute of further education charging €700. Anyone tell me how come there is such a price diff??

City of Dublin VEC would have a policy of keeping their fees as low as possible to make sure as many people as possible can access them.

if you're around wicklow you should ring Nuala Kilgannon the adult guidance person at Wicklow VEC, type her name into google and the phone number should come up! she helped me out loads and will tell you the best spot to repeat it in if you're having trouble picking a place or getting somewhere that caters exactly for your needs and she'll be able to tell you what kind of grants you might be able to apply for to help you along if needs be!

Thanks. Was just really wondering how places can charge diff prices for the course. Been to college already so won't qualify for grant.
