College Benefits

Almost 300,000 people study in Further Education (FE) colleges each year and more young people aged 16-19 are learning in college than ever before.

The vast majority of college learners are studying part time, others are following Higher Education qualifications and over 12,000 learners are on Work Based Learning programmes.

So what does all of this mean? Well it means that your local FE college has something to offer everyone when it comes to learning!

Colleges in Wales vary considerably in size, numbers and type of students and the range of courses and services offered. Many colleges provide specialist subjects, leisure courses for adults and courses aimed at students from overseas.

They also maintain close links with local industry and run a wide range of courses tailored to meet the needs of local and national business.

So what’s your next step? Why not find out more about what your local college can do for you  – whether it’s studying to go to University, a course to improve your employment prospects or a hobby that you’ve always wanted to follow.
