Key steps in the process of arriving at an Accredited Grade
There are two main phases in the process of arriving at an SEC Accredited Grade:
- A school-based phase
- A national standardisation phase
Both phases are underpinned by the principles noted above .
The process of arriving at an SEC Accredited Grade applies to:
- Established Leaving Certificate – subjects
- Leaving Certificate Vocational Programme – Link Modules
- Leaving Certificate Applied – subjects, tasks and vocational specialisms for LCA year 2 students and where relevant LCA year 1 students.
In the specific circumstances created by the COVID pandemic, the SEC Accredited Grade process is being made available in addition to the Leaving Certificate examination process. All Leaving Certificate students may sit the Leaving Certificate examinations which encompass the written examinations in June and related components in each subject (orals, coursework etc).
