Leaving Certificate 2025 Results and CAO Offers Information for DARE and HEAR Applicants.

Congratulations to the Leaving Cert Class of 2025! 🎉

On behalf of Access College, we want to offer a huge congratulations to all students receiving their Leaving Certificate results on Friday, the 22nd of August. All students should be incredibly proud of the journey they have taken to get here.

For students who are HEAR and DARE eligible, you may be wondering what happens next. The good news is that for now, you don’t need to do anything further until the CAO offers are released on Wednesday, 27th August at 2:00 pm. Once offers are issued via the CAO. 

📅 Key Dates – Leaving Cert Results & CAO Offers 2025

To stay up to date on all orientation dates, we strongly encourage all students to monitor the Access or Disability service website in the HEI you plan to attend. Each HEI will have information on its website about access and disability supports and their respective orientation dates for DARE and HEAR students, so it’s well worth checking these pages in advance.

A few key reminders as you move through this stage:

• Keep a close eye on your emails – all official offers will come via the CAO.
• Monitor the website of your chosen HEI for updates on supports and next steps.
• If you have any questions at this stage, don’t hesitate to contact the DARE or HEAR representative in the college you are hoping to attend. They can point you in the right direction. You can find their contact information here:

We know this is an exciting time, but we also understand that for HEAR and DARE students, preparing for college can sometimes feel stressful or overwhelming.

Please remember that preparation is key – keep yourself informed, stay organised, and most importantly, don’t hesitate to reach out. Our staff and the support available in your chosen college are here to help you every step of the way.
