Business

Kilmartin Educational Services has offered several subjects as external subjects outside of the base school since 2002, including subjects with coursework/project requirements.

Kilmartin Educational Services offers Business as an external subject outside of the base school under the guidelines of the State Examinations Commission (SEC).

To study an external subject at Kilmartin Educational Services, we require a Letter of Permission from the base school Principal stating:

1.Student has permission to sit the subject externally in the base school.

2. Base school Principal agrees to upload all relevant course/project work, authenticated by our class teacher.

3. Base school Principal will complete a P3 Form, signed by Julie Kilmartin, class teacher and base school sends to the SEC to register student for the exam.

*Enrolment onto our External subject programme is not complete until this letter of permission is on file in our college. 

P3 Requirements to Register for External Subject

- The base school completes Section A of the P3 form and then the form goes to Kilmartin Educational Services- the school where the coursework is done.

- Kilmartin Educational Services- where the coursework is done completes and signs Section B (teacher and principal) of the P3 Form.

- The school where the coursework is done returns the coursework and the P3 form to the base school. This can be done by hand or by registered post.

Business Classes

Attendance to weekly grinds is essential, if for whatever reason you cannot attend a grind you must inform KES and acquire a recording of the class missed. 

There will also be scheduled exams throughout the academic year that are compulsory. Non-compliance with KES stipulations will force KES not to sign off on any required paperwork. KES teaches the course aspect of the syllabus. The actual written examination must be sat at their own base school.
