Doing your Leaving this year? Do not forget this all-important detail!

If you're sitting your Leaving Cert next month, don't forget that as of midday today you will be able to make a change to the choices you made on your CAO form last February.

After sitting your mocks and preparing for your orals, you may have had a change of heart when it comes to your career choices, and now is the time to take another look!

The Change of Mind period begins today and will remain open until July 1st, so don't panic if you're still uncertain as you even have some time following the exams to reconsider your original career path.

Commenting on the facility, Betty McLoughlin is President of the Irish Institute of Guidance Counselors said: "They might say 'I need to put in a plan B… I'm not going to get the points that I thought'. So they might put in a back-road into the course that they want."

Speaking to Newstalk Breakfast, she continued: "That's perfectly normal, and it's great that that facility is available. You have a window of opportunity for about ten days when they have completed their Leaving Cert."
