More than 57,000 students will receive their Leaving Certificate results tomorrow, Wednesday, 13th August.
For a lot of students and their parents, this is a particularly nerve racking time as they try to make sense of results and what steps and choices are available to them.
Thankfully, there is help for those receiving results – the 1800 265 165 Exam Helpline 2014. Provided by the National Parents’ Council Post Primary, the helpline will be open from 10 am on results day offering advice, information and support.
The helpline, which is sponsored by eircom, is supported by the Department of Education and Skills and staffed by members of the Institute of Guidance Counsellors, so you know you are getting advice from people who know what they are talking about. All queries on 3rd level courses, the points system, rechecks, repeats, CAO procedures, apprenticeships and further training options will be dealt with in a professional and confidential manner.
