The day is split into six slots of 70 minutes, with short breaks and an hour for lunch.
In each slot, several live classes run at the same time in different rooms. A top teacher teaches each one in person, to a group of students doing the same subject and level.
You pick one class per slot, or none. Any slot where you didn't pick a class, you go to the supervised study room and work on your own, in silence, with a supervisor. That's included in the price.
Each class you pick meets every day of the course, with the same teacher and the same group. That's 4 classes over the four days.
Example: a 6th Year who booked English, Higher Maths (A) and Physics at the Ormonde Hotel, Kilkenny.
The same timetable runs every day of the course.
Higher Maths A and B are two different classes on different topics, and most Higher Level students take both.
You pay by the number of subjects (classes) you pick. Supervised study is free in every other slot.

Revise also runs these courses in Athlone (TUS Athlone).
Both, in one day. The subjects you pick are live classes — a top teacher at the front of the room, teaching a group of students, in person. Every slot where you didn't pick a class, you're in supervised study, working on your own in a quiet room with a supervisor. 9am to 6pm.
No. Pick as many or as few as you like — one subject is fine. Every slot you leave empty is supervised study, at no extra cost.
Yes. A class you book meets once every day of the course, 70 minutes each time, with the same teacher and the same group — 4 classes over the four days. Each day picks up where the last one stopped.
They're two different classes on different topics, not the same class twice — so a Higher Level student can take both and never repeat a minute. Most Higher Level students take both. In Kilkenny each one runs twice a day, so you can fit them around your other subjects.
Working Leaving and Junior Cert teachers, every one hand-picked by Carl Lynch. Of the 18 classes, Carl teaches 4 (Higher Maths) and 9 are taught by his own former students. Every name is in the timetable above.
Your own books, copies and a charged calculator, plus lunch or money for it. Phones are put away during class and study.
After booking, the student gets a pass with a QR code by email. It's scanned at the door, and the parent's copy of the pass shows the check-in times.
Email info@revise.ie and we refund the part you haven't used. No forms, no questions, no quibble. See the refund section above.
No — this is the holiday revision course. Revise also runs weekly evening study and weekly Maths grinds in Kilkenny all year; those are booked separately.
