repeating LC from over seas?

Hey guys,
I have a few questions about how I would go about repeating LC maths from Australia.
I am thinking of joining the army and it requires a pass in OL maths. I have googled it and so far everything that comes up pretty much says i have to at least be in the country. is there an online course available? Could i sit the Australian equivalent and just add it to my irish LC?

If anybody has any insight or advice it would be greatly appreciated,

Regards
Ciaran

There is no online equivalent for Leaving Cert. The Australian leaving cert is called the HSC ( high school certificate). I would assume your best bet would be to contact army recruitment and ask them if the Australian qualification would be acceptable. If it is get that confirmation in writing.

^^ That makes the best sense to me too Ciaran, I'm sure they will accept the local equivalent.

I agree though about getting it in writing; don't take "ah yeah it'll be grand!" over the phone, armies tend to be even more mired in red-tape and bureaucratic inconsistencies than the average public service organisation (and they're all terrible for it).
