The Leaving Certificate Applied (LCA) is a distinct, self-contained two-year programme aimed at preparing students for adult and working life.
The programme puts an emphasis on forms of achievement and excellence which the established Leaving Certificate has not recognised in the past.
The LCA was introduced to recognise the talents of all students and provide opportunities for development in terms of responsibility, selfesteem and self-knowledge.
It is an innovative programme in the way students learn, in what they learn and in the way their achievements are assessed.
The advantage of the LCA is that it focuses on the talents of each individual student and helps students apply what they learn in the real world.
The two-year programme consists of four halfyear blocks, called sessions. Achievements are credited in each of these sessions.

The Leaving Certificate Applied is a single award made on the basis of credits accumulated over four sessions and in final examinations. A candidate may accumulate a maximum of 200 credits.
Students who successfully complete the LCA programme are awarded a certificate from the State Examinations Commission (SEC). The LCA is awarded at three levels.
Student achievement and performance in the Leaving Certificate Applied is recorded in three modes as follows:
A total of 44 modules are completed over the two years of the programme. At the end of each session, the student is credited on satisfactory completion of the appropriate modules. In order to be awarded credit, students must complete each module by:
1. Attending the classes and out-of-school activities related to the module
2. Completing the key assignments related to the module.
The candidate completes seven student tasks over the two years. Each task represents a significant piece of work (at least 10 hours) and is worth 10 credits. The task enables the candidate to integrate learning and practical experiences from the different courses and modules of the LCA programme. To receive credits for a student task, the candidate must:
• Produce authentic evidence of task completion
• Produce a task report
• Present for interview (personal reflection task does not require an interview).
• English and Communication
• Modern European Languages (French, Spanish, German and Italian)
• Social Education
• Mathematical Applications
• Gaeilge Chumarsáideach
• Vocational Specialisms (two specialisms to be taken by each candidate).
Work experience is at the core of the LCA. Students must arrange their own work experience placements. It is important that students choose their work experiences carefully.
It is recommended that work experience is completed in at least three different career areas. Students are not allowed to complete their work experience in a workplace in which they already have a part-time job. For each work experience placement, students must complete satisfactorily and return their Work Experience Diary. Employer Report Cards must also be returned. Students who don’t return or complete the above two documents will lose vital credits.
Students are monitored carefully on work experience placements and, where possible, a member of the teaching staff will visit and interview both the student and their employer.
We expect every student to do their absolute best in relation to classwork. Credit is not given for work that is not considered to be the best that a student can do, regardless of quality.
Pupils will be expected to adhere to the school/ college/centre ethos and rules as laid out in the school/college/centre journal.
A minimum 90% attendance is a basic requirement. Lengthy or repeated absences must be certified by a doctor’s note. Any holidays taken during the course of the two years will not be accepted as a legitimate absence and may result in participants losing out on credits.

The aims of the student task are to:
• Provide an opportunity for students to integrate learning and practical experiences from the different courses and modules of the programme
• Develop student literacy, communication and numeracy skills
• Develop student confidence and self-esteem
• Promote student motivation by providing short-term achievable goals
• Develop student responsibility and initiative as well as skills in self-evaluation, problem solving, reflection and management
• Enable students to apply to practical problems and/or issues the knowledge, understanding, skills and competencies developed through participation in the modules
• Promote co-operation and teamwork among participating students
• Promote school/community liaison through involvement in the local community
• Promote and develop active citizenship
• Prepare students for life outside and beyond school.
The student task is a practical activity and/or process of reflection through which the student integrates and applies learning experiences gained from undertaking the LCA programme to some or all of the following:
• The development of a product
• The investigation of an issue
• The performance of an action
• The provision of a service
• The staging of an event
• Personal reflection
Over the duration of the LCA programme, each student must undertake seven student tasks:
1. Vocational Preparation Task
2. Vocational Education Task (1)
3. Vocational Education Task (2)
4. General Education Task
5. Contemporary Issue Task
6. Practical Achievement Task
7. Personal Reflection Task

The student task has a number of stages. These stages can be grouped as follows:
• Selecting/planning
• Implementing
• Recording and cross-curricular applications
• Reviewing and evaluating
• Presenting/communicating
A student task report is a description of the various stages required to complete a student task. A report should include information regarding:
• The title
• The statement of aim(s)
• The plan of action
• Carrying out the student task
• Presentation and analysis of findings
• Evaluation of the student task and the student’s own contribution
The interview will involve a discussion between the examiner and students of the work involved in the task. The duration of the discussion should be at least 5 minutes of the 20 minutes allocated to the assessment of each student’s task.
