Repeating the Leaving Certificate is a challenging undertaking. The programme and its delivery in Rathmines College is designed to provide students with a fresh start in a new and adult learning environment. The objective is to enable students to achieve to the best of their ability and to support them in every way during the year. The emphasis is on full attendance and a commitment to consistent and focussed study. The college has an outstanding record of success with this programme and aims to facilitate all learners to achieve at their own level and to reach their personal goals.

I'm extremely glad I repeated my Leaving Cert at Rathmines College. It was a tough decision, but I'm very glad I did it as it helped open many doors for me. During that one year, I increased my points from 490 to 555, gaining my place in European Studies at Trinity College Dublin. Amazingly supportive staff - couldn't have done it without them. Highly recommended.
