• Answer:

  Are you talking about the RoI's Leaving Cert??? If so, not sure why you would want to then do GCSEs and A Levels, if only because it is incredibly expensive to do them independently! Some subjects at A Level will cost you as much as £2,000 by the time you've done all the exams. And that's without the costs of travelling to England to do the exams (I think there used to be one exam centre in Dublin but not sure it's still there). Don't know if you know this or not but a Grade C or above on your Leaving Cert will already be equal to an A Level pass in that subject and anything at Grade D on your Leaving cert will be equivalent to a pass at GCSE, so you're not going to gain anything more by starting all over again with GCSEs and A Levels. BTW you can't do GCSEs outside of school or college, you'd need to do IGCSEs (International GCSEs, equivalent to GCSEs).
