Tuition for sixth-year Leaving Certificate 2020 students ceased on 11 May. This includes on-line or remote tuition, and applies to the Leaving Certificate established, Leaving Certificate Applied (LCA) and Leaving Certificate Vocational Programme (LCVP) 2020. No additional work is being set or accepted from students from this date and no further tuition will be provided.
All students now have the option to receive a State Certificate of Calculated Grades in each subject. Students will also have the opportunity to sit the Leaving Certificate examination if they wish at a time when it is safe and practicable to do so. The timeframe for sitting the postponed Leaving Certificate 2020 examinations cannot be determined at this time.
