    Ringsend Technical Institute (CDVEC)?
    Rathmines College (CDVEC)?

    You might have left it a bit late for this year though.

    Is that Marian College charging €700?

    Yup,
    thanks for the websites .
    would you happen to know the fee for rathmine, cant find it on the website

    CDVEC schools are public owned schools and not in the business of making money out of repeats. I would say their fees would be similar to Ringsend's.

    I contacted both Rathmines Vec and Bray.

    Rathmines €300, € 150 if you have a medical card.
    Bray €800 standard and €25 to apply for an interview which is non refundable.


    The Dublin Vecs offer a much better selection of subjects apart from Ag Science.
    Hope this helps. :)

    No - if it's VEC at all (which I don't know for sure), it would be Wicklow VEC.

    CDVEC schools with Further Education sections are:

    Ballsbridge College of Further Education
    Ballyfermot College of Further Education
    Cabra Community College
    Kylemore College, Ballyfermot
    Whitehall College of Further Education
    St. Kevin's College, Clogher Road, Crumlin
    Colaiste Dhulaigh - College of Further Education, Coolock and Raheny
    Crumlin College of Further Education
    Inchicore College of Further Education
    Colaiste Ide - College of Further Educaiton, Finglas
    Killester College of Further Education
    Liberties College
    Marino College of Further Education
    Plunket College, Swords Road, Whitehall
    Rathmines College
    Ringsend College
    Pearse College of Further Education, Crumlin

    Not all of the above would have repeat Leaving, but many have.

    Institute of Education has a pretty good rep!! So, so expensive though, I think 700ish is the norm?

    I thought Institute of Education was about 5k. :O either that or has gone down dramatically... xD

    The OP asked for schools to repeat in.
    Repeat businesses always charge more.

    Thanks for all your information, I will be checking a few of the schools to see if they suit me, location, subject and of course price wise.
    Wish me luck, hope they still have spaces.
    and agian thank you all for the replies, such nice people on these boards !:)

    I'm sure it's worth every penny.
