LEAVING CERTIFICATE APPLIED PROGRAMME
The L.C.A. programme is a unique approach to education and learning. It is an innovative programme in the way the students learn, in what they learn and in the way their achievements are assessed. In essence, it is a continuous assessment course with final state examinations accounting for a third of all marks. Students gain credits for applying their knowledge, skills and experience to practical tasks at school, in the workplace and in the wider community.
LEAVING CERTIFICATE VOCATIONAL PROGRAMME
The Leaving Certificate Vocational Programme provides students with the opportunity to realise their potential for self directed learning, for innovation and for enterprise. Students follow this programme as part of the Leaving Certificate. It is currently available to students who select particular combinations of Leaving Certificate subjects.
