    Hi hope im in the right forum, my brother is 19 and would like to go back and do his leaving cert can anyone tell me where in Dublin, the city centre preferable can he do his leaving. What colleges or schools can he apply to? We're from Navan so the Dublin city centre would be the best area. Any help would be great :)

    I'm in rathmines college and it's pretty good. Most of my teachers are excellent even better than some of them in my private school last year.

    It's so easy to get to from the city centre

    Plenty of schools offering repeat Leaving for reasonable prices. You don't have to go to businesses like the Institute.

    Is there a reason why he wants to come to Dublin, rather than finding somewhere local to Navan?

    All the City of Dublin VEC colleges, Pearse, Crumlin, Ringsend, Plunkett, Rathmines, Col. Dhúlaigh, etc. should all be charging reasonable prices.

    Like if you go to Rathmines they cover the LC course in one year. Where as if he repeats in his local school he gets thrown into sixth when most of the course is covered.

    Ok thanks a million. He left after 5th year so can he go and just do 6th? Also how long does it take to get from the city centre to the college in Rathmines?

    As far as I know you can,I suppose like everything it will depend on who he deals with,but since he's covered fifth I don't see why not as long as he can keep up with the work.Its about 10 minutes on the bus or a 20 minute walk to central bank.Lots of bus routes serve rathmines and the city,so if he's looking for accomadation it might be worth his while looking a bit further out as may find a nicer place to stay for cheaper or the same price and still have easy access to both the city and college.
