Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need Irish to qualify as a primary school teacher?

There are Irish language requirements for primary school teaching – teachers must be able to teach the Irish language and must have achieved a H4 grade in Leaving Cert Irish. This course is designed for people who have since left school but wish to study for, and sit, the Leaving Cert exam to achieve this minimum grade requirement.
