    Hi, Fakhar here.
    Have a few questions below as I need help in choosing the right path to avoid wastage as much as possible. Much obliged

    Should I consider the PLC if I don’t know what course I wish to do?

    Secondly, let’s say I do the course of my choice and in the future I turn towards third level and I have a PLC diploma in business for example or sports management, could I with those unlinked courses choose a course like engineering or computer science or medicine at third level?
    In brief, must the courses you do at PLC be linked with the ones you wish to do at third level?

    Lastly, is it worth repeating the leaving cert all over again one last time for more freedom to choose the course if one wishes to resume his/ her education in college at third level in the future?

    Hard work is required on both sides, so I don’t have any ‘easy’ concise way to avoid that. And, I understand that

    Yeah, I’ve got it sorted. Took a long time but worth it.

    Thanks for asking, Lisa.

    That’s great. As a teacher in Further Education for 19 years, I came across your question fairly often (with applicants) so I was happy to share my thoughts with you, but you are sorted now. So, best of luck with whatever you decided to do :-)

    Please don't take a PLC place just to do something. You may be depriving someone who actually wanted that course of a place.
