Leaving Certificate Applied
A Different Way
What is the Leaving Certificate Applied?
A self-contained two-year Leaving Certificate programme aimed at preparing students for working life or Post Leaving Cert Courses.
Who is it for?
Students who are not catered for by other Leaving Certificate.
I decided to do LCA because I felt it would help me learn more about life today.
What I liked about it was the fact that you got credits as you went along and I liked doing the tasks and assignments.
I wanted to do LCA because it was a more active course and was very different from the Traditional Leaving Certificate.
I chose to do LCA because I enjoyed doing project work andindependent research.
I loved the idea of doing projects and assignments in LCA so that’s why I chose todo it.
