    Hey everyone! I just had a look at the Kilroy's college site and was thinking of doing my Leaving Cert through their distance learning courses. I was just curious if anyone else has done it with them and if the certificate I get from them will be recognized by colleges or PLC courses.

    Thank you.

    It's the regular Leaving Cert so yes it is recognised.

    The thing with Kilroy's is that it's cheap because you have to do a lot of the work yourself. You have to read the stories and poems and basically teach yourself, with their material, to speak Irish. One of my students managed to get a B with them a while back, but he was also getting one or two grinds a week. Some people are offering grinds for as little as €20 an hour. So it's an option if you're either well disciplined or have a good grinds teacher.

    hey,
    I'm hoping to do the same thing-repeat Irish for a post grad in Primary Teaching next year....
    I have a mate who's fluent in Irish and she said she'd give me a digout with the bits I didn't understand!
    Just wanted to know how to go about registering for the leaving?Do I ring a local school?

    Yea just ask a local school. The lad I was teaching was living in Dublin but from Cork. He went back and did it in his old school. He only had to be there three times, to talk to them, oral exam and written. So that may be an option.
