Approaching Senior Cycle Programme 3rd Year Students must consider3 options
Option 1
Transition Year
Any Third Year student may apply for this, but it is particularly recommended for those who are a little younger than the norm, i.e. under 15 years of age on the 1st of January this year (or 17 years or younger sitting the Leaving Certificate)
Option 2
Leaving Certificate
Students should keep further studies at 3rd level in mind when selecting their subjects for Leaving Certificate.
Option 3
Leaving Certificate Applied
The Leaving Certificate Applied is a distinct, self-contained two-year programme aimed at preparing students for adult & working life. This programme is designed to cater for the needs of students for whom the ordinary Leaving Certificate courses are not appropriate.
