    Is there any courses teenagers can do that they'll be able to put down on their CV? Any help is appreciated!

    If you were to do some volunteering work that looks very good, or being on your schools student council :o

    European Computer Driving License.

    I'm not sure how much whoever examines your CV will value it that much though.

    There are plenty, but whether they'll be of value depends on who'll be reading the CV?

    Although not a course as such, Gaisce - the Presidents Award is very highly respected. It shows commitment, motivation and is a great talking point at interviews.
