This year, 29 inspirational Coleg Gwent learners have made it through to the finals of WorldSkills UK, competing against learners from colleges across the country this November. 

Every year, hundreds of adult learners join Coleg Gwent to change their story through free and flexible courses. This Adult Learners Week, we met some of our mature students to hear their stories and find out why they joined Coleg Gwent this September.

Once again this year, we’re celebrating our learners who have come out on top with outstanding A Level, vocational and BTEC results. We’ve seen the best A* - C grades ever, with a 4.6% increase in A*/A grades and several learners successfully securing places at Cambridge University in September!

Vocational qualifications like BTECs are work-related courses giving you the skills and knowledge for a particular career, and as joint top-performing college for vocational qualifications in Wales, we have a wide selection of courses for you to explore.

Our Career Colleges course is a popular choice for many learners who want to pursue a career in computer networking and digital industries, and each learner has excelled in their studies this year, setting them up for a successful future career.

Wednesday 23rd June was ‘National Thank A Teacher Day’, and what better way to celebrate than with a prestigious Bronze Award for the Blaenau Gwent Learning Zone A-Level Team in the Pearson Teaching Awards ‘FE Team of the Year’ 2021!
