Leaving Certificate Applied
Our school provides a well-established alternative Leaving Certificate programme. It enables students to develop career opportunities by giving them alternative subjects such as Work Placement and Information Technology. The Leaving Certificate Applied (LCA) prepares students for working life and is an alternative route to ThirdLevel education. It may be attractive to students who prefer a less academic, more practical approach to learning, rather than the traditional Leaving Certificate.
