The Chief Executive of Donegal Education and Training Board (ETB), Anne McHugh, has congratulated students receiving their Leaving Certificate, Leaving Certificate Applied and LCVP results today.
Donegal ETB manages fifteen of Donegal’s 27 post-primary schools and is a joint trustee for the eight Community and Comprehensive schools in the county.
“On behalf of Donegal ETB, I would like to offer my heartiest congratulations to almost 900 Leaving Certificate, Leaving Certificate Applied and LCVP students in our fifteen post-primary schools, the hundreds in the county’s Community and Comprehensive schools and the ten adult Leaving Certificate students from our Letterkenny Further Education and Training Centre (Port Road) who today receive their results,” Ms McHugh said.
Ms McHugh reminded students that in terms of progression, Donegal ETB’s Further Education and Training (FET) service offers a wide range of courses to meet progression needs.
“There are also many opportunities to earn and learn through our FET Service – students do not have to go away to other parts of the country to achieve their dreams. These include apprenticeships, Post-Leaving Certificate (PLC) courses, traineeships and a wide range of other full-time training courses available through our FET Service. Tertiary degrees are also available, enabling students to start their degree with us here in Letterkenny and then progress to ATU to finish it.”
Information on further education and training (FET) courses provided by Donegal ETB can be found in their newly published 2024-2025 FET Prospectus available on their website here, and on their website course finder www.donegaletb.ie/fetcoursefinder. Information on tertiary degrees is available at www.nto.ie.
Explanatory information on all FET areas, including apprenticeships, can be found in the ‘FET Programmes Explained’ section of the ETB’s website – https://www.donegaletb.ie/further-education-training/fet-programmes-explained/ and follow Donegal ETB’s social media accounts (Facebook, Instagram and X/Twitter) for updates.
The Chief Executive also pointed out that for those students who feel that they did not achieve the results they wanted, there are several options to choose from. They should go through these options with the school or centre Guidance Counsellor.
