National Parents and Students Leaving Certificate Helpline
For the Attention of 6th Year Students/Parents/Guardians:
The Department of Education collaborates with the Institute of Guidance Counsellors (IGC), the National Parents Council (NPC) and the Irish Second-level Students Union (ISSU), to provide the National Parents and Students Leaving Certificate Helpline following the release of exam results.
The helpline is staffed by professional and experienced guidance counsellors who deliver support and information relating to any aspect of guidance at this key transition point. For example, guidance counsellors may provide support around Leaving Certificate results, viewing examination scripts, the appeals process and on all pathways including CAO, apprenticeships, Further Education and Training (FET), Tertiary Degrees, and more. This service offers support to parents and students.
The helpline, and accompanying text-based service, will be available from the day the Leaving Certificate Exam results are issued, and during the period after. Students and parents can call the helpline on 1800 265 165. Please note that the Helpline will not be operational until the Leaving Certificate Results Day.
Kind Regards,
The Leadership Team
