Coleg Gwent News

Coleg Gwent Girls Rugby Academy keep their crown for the third year running after their 17-0 win against Llandovery College in The Welsh Rugby Union National Schools and Colleges U18 Finals.

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.

Coleg Gwent students have competed against hundreds across the country as part of Skills Competition Wales. This year, 113 students demonstrated their ability, competence and knowledge, bringing home a combined total of 17 medals in gold, silver and bronze categories.

BTEC Sports Coaching and Development learner, Lloyd Sheppard, is an endurance athlete specialising in 10km running. With a real love for sport, he decided to pursue a BTEC in the subject he loves at Crosskeys Campus.

Congratulations to three talented Coleg Gwent students who have been selected from hundreds of competitors to represent the United Kingdom in the WorldSkills UK National Squad.

Not only did we climb into the top three in the UK for both mainstream and foundation competitions, but we’re also now the best performing college in Wales, with 11 skills champions who scooped gold, silver, bronze and highly commended medals. Go team Coleg Gwent!
