While the idea of repeating the Leaving Certificate may seem like the only option if you are determined to get the points for a place on a particular third-level course, there are plenty of other options if you didn’t get the results you wanted or needed and remain open-minded about your future career goals and, more importantly, the route you can take to achieve them.
