Hey Jammyme,
Yeah i was thinking the same, hopefully they will still have positions available when they interview us!!! How is your preparation going for it?


I had my interview about a week and a half ago and they are only interviewing for waiting list places as the course is now full. Everyone else who was there to be interviewed was interviewed for the waiting list.

I was told, however, that they do take a lot of people from the waiting list every year - last year they took 90! I wouldn't worry about it. :smile:

I had mine three weeks ago and found out today that I got an unconditional offer! If it's taking a long time then give them a ring, that's what I did.

Good luck.

Hi everyone,

I don't know if anyone still on this but i taught I would give it a go :smile:
I have an interview for UEL next week for the waiting list, so im not to hopeful about getting a place, but I still want to do my best.
Just wondering for the lesson do you have five minutes to explain your lesson, do you have a choice whether or not to teach them the lesson or just read through it. I would imagine you would have to have great detail about the lesson to talk about it for 5 minutes.
Also is the maths at Junior Cert level of Leaving Cert?
I am really nervous, teaching is all I want to do :smile:
Any advice would be apperiated.x
