Find your super power at Coleg Gwent

-

DID you know you have a superpower? Yes, you. You may not realise it right now, but Coleg Gwent can help you find yours.

Every year thousands of people just like you go on to achieve great things – go to uni, get good jobs and improve their prospects for the future – having studied with Coleg Gwent; that’s because it’s one of Wales’ top performing colleges.

Did you know it has an impressive 98.1% A-level pass rate across its campuses? That’s higher than the UK and Wales average for the third year running!

There are plenty of A-level subjects to choose from – 55 in fact – so you’re bound to find a course that’s right for you.

One of the college’s very own superheroe­s, Emma Rose, celebrated her A* and A results last week – an impressive feat especially after she had to pull out of her exams last year due to illness. So, how did she fight back?

“The one-on-one sessions with tutors make it much more personal and I love how relaxed Coleg Gwent was compared to school”.

Emma’s right; at Coleg Gwent you not only get support and advice in the form of your own personal tutor, support staff and on-site counsellor­s, but you get the independen­ce and freedom that you don’t get at school, plus you don’t have to wear a uniform – bonus!

A-levels not your thing? That’s not a problem, vocational courses are on offer in business, creative arts, engineerin­g plus lots more!

It’s the only college to have 12 different subject-sector areas categorise­d as ‘excellent’ (Welsh Government Learner Outcomes report, February 2017) – no other college has achieved this many!

Also, it’s the only career college in Wales, offering innovative health and care and digital technology courses where you can work with local employers on real-life workplace projects; this helps you get on the career ladder and it’s great to add to your CV!

Maybe you’re an earn-while-youlearn kind of person? The college offers a range of apprentice­ships and some apprentice­s have gone on to win national competitio­ns!

Choosing your next step after your GCSEs can be a scary thing but it doesn’t need to be.

College is the next natural stage after school and Coleg Gwent has more than 18,000 pupils, so you’ll be in good company.

It not only offers qualificat­ions, students can benefit from the award-winning students union, volunteeri­ng opportunit­ies, make like-minded friends and join societies.
