ORAL PREPARATION
Oral Prep Workshops & Mock Orals 2025
IRISH, FRENCH, SPANISH
The Irish oral exam accounts for a MASSIVE 40% of your total marks. The French and Spanish oral exam accounts for 25% of your total marks in honours. Get the most out of your oral marks ahead of the written exam in June!
DSA Mock Orals and Preparatory Workshops will run ahead of the real orals which run during Easter holidays. Students can use this opportunity to practice their oral skills with a State Examiner one last time before the real oral exams. Examined by fully qualified, Garda vetted teachers, students will enter an oral exam with the exact set up and structure as the Leaving Certificate examination.
This is the perfect chance for students to boost their confidence, improve on their language skills ahead of the real exam and get rid of the fear factor.
Please Note: We also offer grinds in Irish, French and Spanish throughout the year and Easter Revision Courses in all subjects.
