Leaving Certificate Applied Programme (LCA)
The Leaving Certificate Applied programme is a distinct two-year Leaving Certificate programme, aimed at preparing students for adult and working life. The programme seeks to recognise the talents of all students. The practical emphasis helps students apply what they learn in the real worlds. Every Thursday students attend work experience, providing a unique insight into the world of work and assisting students to determine their future career paths.
LCA is an innovative programme in the way students learn, in what they learn, and in the way their achievements are recognised and assessed. This programme offers subjects with a vocational dimension such as
Hotel
Catering and Tourism
Visual Art
Social Education
English & Communications
Mathematical Applications
Irish
Spanish
Work Experience
Vocational Preparation
Guidance
ICT.
LCA provides a pathway to FET courses, and we have a proud tradition of excellent results.
