According to the Department, the programme is intended to meet the needs of those pupils who either choose not to opt for other Leaving Certificate Programmes.[1]

The programme is aimed at young people who have completed the Junior Certificate and students who have taken a FÁS course. [2]

According to The Irish Examiner News, 2,965 students recently took exams for the Leaving Certificate Applied.[3] Overall, according to the article, roughly 57,000 students recently took exams for the Irish Leaving Certificate. [4]
