Re-sitting honours Irish to get into primary teaching?

    Hi all,

    I am currently in the final year of an Arts degree and have applied to PAC for a second level PME. However, I've had a recent change of heart and have decided I'd prefer to teach at primary level instead. The problem is, I decided to take pass as opposed to honours Irish for the Leaving Cert. With higher level Irish being a prerequisite to get into any primary teaching course, I was thinking maybe I might take a year out from study next year and go back and take an honours Irish evening course in order to make myself eligible to apply for a primary PME.

    What I want to ask is, do actually have to have obtained your honours Irish minimum grade C before you can apply for a primary PME or can you be provisionally accepted on the condition that you manage to get the said grade. For example, if I was to re-sit Irish in June 2016, would that be too late to get me into a primary PME in autumn of the same year if the application deadlines were that spring?

    Any feedback would be much appreciated.

    Cheers,

    Rovers Rudie

    Best person to ask is postgraduate admissions for the colleges you're applying for. Give them a ring or email them what you've explained above

    You need proof of your honours C grade Irish for the application- if that helps.
