The leaving cert is much harder course compared to A-Levels, we do 7 subjects opposed to 3. I prefer the A-Levels because you pick your best three and perform well.
In fairness we do have an advantage over our British counter parts we done SEVEN SUBJECTS which makes it a more intense course, Pilot training isn't easy might look good that we where able do seven subjects! Plus getting good results too
As for good results I won an award for the school I attended, best results in my leaving cert class
not to shabby when I have the chance to bring that up in an interview(If & When ever I bloody get there
).
One Question? Why are you looking to go to university in the UK, UL do Aeronautical Engineering and Carlow do Aerospace, plus the additional cost of studying in the UK is madness in my opinion.
Btw the FPP is it definitely opening again this year?
