    You can apply for an exemption from the leaving cert. It's called a GR4 form.

    On your application form to the PAS you just ask for an exemption from the results, and then state why you are asking for an exemption. Also, you can't work in security and work in the reserves as far as I know.

    Best of luck, other members on here may chip in on this topic.

    Hi, As far as I know you will need to take your name of any security register (company) so on so forth... Iv just completed my GR4 form as i do not have Leaving Cert Maths. They sent it to me after my BR process was complete. Good Luck :)
