How to go back for leaving cert

    hi,

    I'm 18 going on 19 this year. When I was 17 I left school. I guess everyone was right when they said "you'll regret it" and now I truly am. I want to go about doing my leaving cert again, but I'm not sure how. A friend said there was a thing for adult education called vtos. Well I checked that out, but you need to be 21 to do it.

    I'm lost now, how do I go about doing the leaving at my age? Do I have to go back to a proper school?

    any help appreciated, thanks.

    your local vec will more than likely do repeat leaving cert or you can do it as an external candidate whichever one you prefer. PLC courses are also really good courses.

    Try your old school - it's a long shot but they might have them.
    Otherwise, apply here for them: http://www.examinations.ie/index.php?l=en&mc=ca&sc=sor
