Teagasc deliver the Green Cert on a fulltime, part-time and distance education basis. The content and delivery of the Green Cert is an operational matter for Teagasc. I understand that Teagasc endeavour to provide appropriate support and reasonable accommodation at exams where students have recognised learning difficulties based on the individual’s needs assessment.
