How Much Will it Cost Me?
The cost of doing the Leaving Certificate varies. ETB colleges are the less expensive option, however check with your local ETB to see what exact costs are involved. If you choose a private college the cost is considerably higher.
Are There Any Other Alternative Options?
There are plenty of other Further Education and Training options available, for example a QQI Level 4 course, also offered by the ETBs, is equivalent to Leaving Certificate level. To find courses visit www.fetchcourses.ie
Who Can I Talk To?
Enrolment for the Leaving Certificate take place from August to mid-September each year, depending on the college or centre. There are also many Open Days taking place around this time, where you can talk to tutors about your options.
