There are so many benefits to the Further Education and Training (FET) options such as Post Leaving Certificate courses (PLCs), Apprenticeships and Traineeships and there is still time to apply for a place on these. FET options make a lot of financial sense in that PLC courses are free, and they qualify for a SUSI grant, while Apprenticeships and Traineeships offer the potential to earn as you learn. You will be at the back of the queue when it comes to processing but if you are eligible, you can still get your grant. If you have not made an application already you can apply through the ‘New Applicant’ link for a €45 charge. If, for whatever reason, a student changes their mind in the intervening year, they can input the new course(s) they are interested in into their new CAO application and they simply forego their deferred place. If I accept this offer, can I still be offered my first choice if the points come down in a later round? For those who have already made a CAO application, apply through the ‘Existing Applicant’ link, there is no charge. The college will then inform the CAO directly of the student’s deferral. Do I HAVE to take my place or can I hold it until next year? This is also a momentous day for many students as they find out whether they get the offer they have been working towards, or not. Check if you have the minimum requirements e.g. So, what are your options when the offer comes through, or not?

But if you have already accepted an offer and decide you want to stick with it, you can ignore the second offer. There’s a lot of PLC courses that offer a route to a level eight degree in your subject area. You can get your exams reviewed and if your marks go up, you could potentially get your first choice. You will only get a second offer if a place has opened up on a course that was higher in your list of preferences. This is a good idea if you feel that one of your exams was marked incorrectly or unfairly. If this is you, you’ll definitely hear the phrase, “it’s not the end of the world”, a few dozen times today.

A natural ability in science emerged at an early age for Jamie Somers, when he was a pupil in Virgin Mary primary school, Ballymun, Dublin.

It was a panicked rush to find something I could do to get into third level. “I had failed chemistry and I needed a H5 in two science subjects. “Basically, I would have taken any of the physics courses,” he recalls. “I had already figured out that physics was something I was definitely interested in. “That was my first introduction to university, because no-one in my family had previously attended third level. Jamie was selected for the Dublin City University Centre for Talented Youth, where he attended weekend classes in modules such as astronomy, game design and photography,
