The Welsh language and culture are central to our ethos and we actively promote bilingual and Welsh medium learning. Our standards are high and we expect the highest standards in terms of commitment and work from all our staff and learners.
Coleg Ceredigion is a rural, bilingual further education college situated on campuses in Aberystwyth and Cardigan. The college’s main catchment area is the county of Ceredigion but the college also attracts a considerable number of learners from parts of North Pembrokeshire, North Carmarthenshire, North West Powys and South Meirionydd.
Each year nearly 2000 learners enrol at the college. These include around 650 full-time learners, most of whom are school leavers from the ten secondary schools in the college’s catchment area (the seven secondary schools in Ceredigion together with the secondary schools located in Machynlleth, Newcastle Emlyn and Preseli).
The college offers learning provision in a wide range of academic and vocational areas ranging from pre-entry to Level 4. We also offer a range of work-based learning provision (Care and Accounting being the main areas) as well as delivering provision for CiTB. The college also delivers a small amount of higher education provision (teacher training) which is funded through a franchise arrangement with the UWTSD.
