Leaving Cert 2022 - Candidate Self Service Portal 2022
In recent years, the SEC has developed the Candidate Self Service Portal (CSSP) as a one-stop-shop for a range on online services for Leaving Certificate candidates. The CSSP will be used again for the 2022 Leaving Certificate so that candidates can confirm their examination entry details and access other services such as results and appeals later on.
We will be taking time with all Leaving Certificate students on Wednesday 9th February to explain the process to them.
The portal opened at 12 noon on Thursday 3 February for candidates to confirm their subject entries and levels. It will remain open for this purpose until 12 noon on Friday 11 February.
During this time Leaving Certificate candidates will be required to register and create their portal account, confirm their subject and level entry details, and add or delete subjects from the records presented to them.
The portal will be pre-populated with the data already provided to the SEC by the school - including the subjects each student is studying.
This means that only those subjects which candidates have been studying in school will be displayed on the portal. When the portal opens, candidates will have the opportunity to add any subjects that they are studying outside of school or to delete subjects if they are no longer studying these subjects.
Candidates will not be able to add additional subjects after the portal closes on 11 February.
When the candidate entry confirmation process has concluded on the CSSP, the SEC will provide the school with a report of the entries for the candidates in the school for review and conformation.
Selection of Levels
Candidates will be asked to select a level on the CSSP when they register over the next few days, but it is important to note that they will have an opportunity to confirm/change their levels later on.
Access to the Portal
Students will access the portal at www.examinations.ie from Thursday 3 February at 12 noon. A Candidate Self Service Portal 2022 Before You Start Guide is also available which candidates should read before commencing the process. To access the portal, candidates will need the following:
- Their examination number
- Personal Identification Number (PIN). The PIN will be the first 4 digits of the candidate’s Personal Public Services Number (PPS number)
- An email address and mobile phone number to which the candidate will have regular access to over the coming months. We would encourage students to use their school email address.
Examination Fees
The Minister for Education has decided that there will be no fees levied for the 2022 examinations; Leaving Certificate or Junior Cycle.
