Leaving Certificate Vocational Programme (LCVP)
The Leaving Certificate Vocational Programme (LCVP) is an additional option available to senior level students. Spread over two years, LCVP combines the Leaving Certificate Established (LCE) with a specific extra element of enterprise, information technology and applied study. LCVP has major relevance upon leaving school for further and higher education, and employment by connecting
academic study with the wider world of careers and work. Students who complete LCVP can gain additional university entry (CAO) points in addition to their Leaving Certificate results.
Work Experience
All students who take the Leaving Certificate Vocational Programme (LCVP) are placed with local employers for a period of work experience. As a result, students gain valuable experience of the world of work and further enhance their education programme and help them make informed choices about their future.
