We encourage participation in a range of sports at all campuses, including rugby, football, netball, basketball, hockey and more. At Torfaen Learning Zone, Sport is offered in partnership with Cwmbran Stadium, while Crosskeys Campus is home to the Newport Gwent Dragons Junior Academy where players gain qualifications alongside their rugby training. The Girls’ Dragon Academy is offered at Blaenau Gwent Learning Zone in collaboration with Crosskeys Campus, with transport provided between sites and a flexible timetable so the Academy can be fully attended. Players in our college rugby team have the opportunity to compete at Rosslyn Park 7’s in London, and our sports teams play in a range of other leagues too.

As a Sports learner you’ll have access to local leisure centres, gyms, trampoline parks, indoor climbing centres and Bike Park Wales for practical activities, and our talented students also regularly enter AoC (Association of Colleges) championships with the support of our staff to help you achieve success at competition level.

The whole world is out there, waiting for you. The Travel and Tourism industry is one of the most exciting and vibrant in the world. Just some of the careers in Travel & Tourism include; cabin crew, tourism promotion, events management, or a travel agent, but the list goes on and you can take your career anywhere you fancy.

All of our learners can apply for Erasmus funding and visit a European country as part of their studies to gain first-hand experience too!
