A new Leaving Certificate Business specification will be introduced for fifth year students in September 2025 and will replace the current Leaving Certificate Business syllabus. Leaving Certificate Business develops students’ awareness of the significance of business for the Irish and international economy and helps to foster an understanding of how the world of business works. Students learn how business is relevant to their own lives, develop financial and business literacy, appreciate business in the world around them and how business is shaped by those who work, lead, and manage within the business environment. The study of Leaving Certificate Business supports students in becoming informed decision-makers and supports the development of a wide range of key competencies.
