The Living Cert

Wolf Academy want to introduce the concept of having a Living Cert in school, not just a Leaving Cert

Why We're Here



Hi we're Cormac and Daryl Noonan.


We're two brothers originally from Navan who both went down very different paths in life after leaving secondary school. We came together to share our stories so that young people don't make the same mistakes we did. We want to prepare young people for life, not just exams.

We decided to set up Wolf Academy to inspire and empower young people to live happier and healthier lives, become their true selves and achieve their ultimate vision.

We do this through our talks, workshops and online courses. We also aim to build an academy where young people can come after finishing school to discover who they are and what they want to do in the world.
