    this may be a ridiculously stupid question, but

    i am interested in history. i only managed one year in national school and got thrown out of history class at the beginning of 2nd year in secondary school.
    ( i grew up in england until i was 11years and my teacher in secondary school was an asshole!)

    anyway, im in my 30's, have a good job which i wont be changing, but i would like to study something part time.
    im interested in history but to my huge embarrassment i know feck all about irish history.

    is it possible for me to sit the leaving cert history paper?
    how do i go about this?

    i would love to learn more and if succesful do some college course in history afterwards.

    any information much appreciated

    Anyone can sit any number of LC papers. You simply apply as an external student to the SEC.
    http://www.examinations.ie/index.php?l=en&mc=ca&sc=ec The online form isn't activated yet, but it will be there probably later this week.

    Your local VEC will advise as to night classes if available. There is an essay assignment as part of the exam, so if you are not attending classes, you will need to make contact with a school and get a teacher to agree to sign off the relevant papers regarding your essay exam work.

    Good luck.
