Leaving Certificate Vocational Programme
The LCVP is an enhanced Leaving Certificate Programme. Students who have specified subject combinations (as laid down by the DES) qualify to take the "link modules"- Enterprise Education, Preparation for work and Work experience. It is a worthwhile programme that combines the academic strengths of the Leaving Certificate with a dynamic focus on self directed learning, enterprise, work and the community.
Assessment is by written examination (40%) and by Portfolio of coursework (60%). A Distinction in this programme is the equivalent of a H3 on a higher level paper and is therefore very valuable.
