CAO – Much of the girl’s Career Guidance time in Sixth Year is spent getting to grips with the CAO system, and ensuring that correct choices are input in their CAO account. The only source of accurate online information about the CAO is available on http://www.cao.ie

There is an interactive demo facility so that you can practice prior to your actual application. All you need do is click on interactive demo facility and follow the directions.

CAO account set up and applications start from November each year and a guidance counsellor is available to help with this if required.

IT IS RECOMMENDED TO APPLY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR MIND LATER.

Sixth year students applying to the Further Education Colleges can apply online once the colleges open applications.

Notification of OPEN DAYS for the Further Education Colleges are posted on the Careers Notice Board so keep your eye on the notice board each day for new information. The college websites will also state when the open days are.
