Leaving Certificate

The Leaving Certificate is the final set of exams taken by students in Ireland at the end of secondary school, typically around age 17-19. It serves as a national qualification that assesses students’ knowledge across various subjects. The results are used to determine eligibility for further education, such as university or college, or for entry into apprenticeships and the workforce. The exams are comprehensive and designed to evaluate both understanding and critical thinking, playing a key role in shaping students’ future educational and career opportunities.
