    Hi folks,

    After 7 years in the UK after completing my PGCE in 2007, I have decided to move home and I have some questions.

    I know I have to complete the scg or ocg Irish exams but does anybody have any information on what needs to be done for these as it's nearly 10 years since I spoke Irish.

    Also, will I be considered for positions without this qualification initially or do they need to be completed before applying?

    All information greatly welcomed :)

    Realistically , if you don't have Irish you will be very limited in what is a dog-eat-dog primary job market.

    I agree, although I would hope that my experience may help me with that before I tackled the Irish.

    Any advice on how much study is required for these scg's? Do I need to attend Gaeltacht etc?

    Sorry, am not au fait with that aspect. Could you start some prep for oral Irish beyond and then at least you can say that you will be working to do your SCG, there are usually some qs "as Gaeilge" in most primary interviews.
