Assessment and Certification
​
ICCE students undergo continuous assessment, incorporating coursework, projects, and end-of-PACE tests, with a minimum score of 80% required for advancement. This assessment model reduces stress by breaking learning material into manageable PACE workbooks, removing the need for extensive memorization. As students advance, they complete essays, research assignments, and oral presentations, all of which meet the rigorous standards set by the Irish Senior Cycle.
