    Hi there,

    Odd question however I am dedicated to life long learning. I've already done the Leaving Cert back in the day, however just for the sake of keeping my brain going and learning new stuff, I never did the History paper for LC in school and would be interested in taking the Leaving Certificate Honours paper or indeed any other papers on the curriculum as a mature/adult learner. Can this be done?

    Thanks

    So does it mean you would be able to study just one particular subject for a couple of years? I'd be interested to do that too, in History. Where could you do this study? I have a terrible feeling I'd have to do the full curriculum of subjects, which I couldn't do.

    I don’t know but I’d doubt it . You’re not looking to do the full leaving cert , just History . Go to your local school and get copy of the current book and maybe a copy of past exams ( available in shops or Folens .ie . If you’re only looking for History , I’m sure 1 years study would do . Best advice is to speak to your local secondary school . Good luck
