JCSP
The Junior Certificate School Programme (JCSP) is undertaken by all Junior Certificate students in addition to the traditional Junior Certificate course. The JCSP attempts to help young people experience success and develop a positive self-image by providing a curriculum and assessment framework suitable to their needs. On completion of the programme students receive a profile which is an official record of their achievements from the Department of Education and Skills.
