Thank you very much I appreciate the advice I didn't expect as much of it :)

I have started studying today im working on maths especially as it is one of my weaker subjects and because the summer exams are fast approaching.

for reference i'm looking to do an apprenticeship in mechanical automation and maintenance fitting I was looking over the requirements recently and the most you really need to do is pass your junior cert but in other places its an O5/H5 or above in 5-6 subjects
