    Hi guys

    just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction.
    I left school early and didnt complete my leaving cert and i'm looking to do so now.
    I am currently working and i'm wondering what are my options ie. part time/ full time and is there any financial support if i had to leave work to complete it?

    I'm looking at doing as least 5 subjects!

    And I'm living in Galway and 20++ if that makes a difference

    Cheers:D

    I know your working but you only have to be on social welfare for 3 months to get BTEA, weekly payments for the duration of the course
