How IS THE COURSE delivered?

Join our LCCS crash course from home (or anywhere!). Our online format is seamlessly delivered via Zoom meaning you can join our courses from wherever you have a computer/laptop and a good internet connection.

We like to keep our classes small, and this allows our live tutors to work directly with students, helping them through sample exam questions, theory, and practical testing. This course is a comprehensive and in-depth dive into all the relevant content a student will need to know for the leaving certificate computer science exam.

OUR TUTORS

All our expert tutors are computer science graduates or master degree holders themselves, and lead our regular term-time courses and coding bootcamps. Rest assured, you’re in good hands! Tutors will be on hand to help students with any issues or questions they haven’t been able to grasp during the regular academic year, and will ensure that students are more than adequately prepped for the return to school and the LCCS exam.

Please note this course is ONLY open to students sitting the leaving cert in 2025 or 2026 (we have other summer courses open to secondary students who want to code, but are not taking LCCS as a leaving cert subject).

All you need is a PC/Mac/Laptop, along with a mic and webcam (the webcam integrated in most laptops is more than sufficient).

The course runs for two weeks, from Tuesday, June 4th to Friday, June 14th. Classes run 10am - 12pm each weekday, with some independent work required between classes.

The price is €399 for the full two weeks
