yes, and you can still do it if you complete the course. i was offered my number 6 through my FETAC points in Round Zero, but was then offered my number 1 through my LC points.

when you apply for CAO you just need to provide your previous CAO and LC Exam number, and if you complete you PLC it will be automatically put on your CAO form because they link it from your PPSN
