Leaving Cert Language Classes

What are Leaving Certificate Saturday Classes?

Languages Connect run classes in lesser-taught languages to support students around Ireland to prepare for the Leaving Certificate exams. These classes are funded by the Department of Education and are free of charge for students.

Who are these classes for?

The classes are for Leaving Certificate students who cannot access lesser-taught languages as a Leaving Certificate subject in their school. Students should register the spring/summer before they begin fifth year.

When do the classes run?

Classes are run on Saturdays during the school term time and cover the Leaving Certificate course over a two-year period.

Key dates:

  • Registration for new fifth year students will close Friday 29th August. Places are offered on a first come first served basis.
  • Registration for sixth year students will be sent to students in March. These registration forms will close Friday 30th May 2025
