    Hi all.

    New member to Boards here.

    I am 26 and looking to repeat the leaving cert. I am currently in a good job and well able to attend college as a mature student at my own leisure, but not having the leaving cert is following me around and haunting me to this day.
    I have always regretted not putting in the work when I should have, as I had brains to burn at 17.
    It is a part of my past that I need to rectify so that I may move on and conquer a reoccurring nightmare.

    If there is any advice on how I can repeat the L.C, or contact information for the right people to get in touch with, any and all information welcome please.

    Regards,
    Dave.

    I don't know about repeating the LC, but can't you just do a L6 Cert or something instead?, it's probably easier, because you don't have to study things you aren't interested in, and gives you the option of going on towards a degree. If you have a third level qualification, nobody is going to question the lack of a LC IMO.

    If you're in Dublin, Pearse College are a specialist adult LC college under the control of the City of Dublin ETB.

    Generally in the country as a whole, contact your local VEC (now called ETB) they are in most cases the providers of any sort of education that is outside the mainstream.
