Now that the main CAO application deadline has passed, students can switch their focus to opportunities presented by another valuable education pathway, the post-Leaving Certificate course (PLC).
It is wise for any student to apply for a PLC, including those who, at this stage, feel committed to a particular CAO course. When CAO offers are made, a student may find they have lost out on a desired place by a few points, they may have changed their mind about the choices they placed on the CAO form or they may not feel ready to sign up for a three-, four- or five-year degree programme.
