Coleg Gwent, one of Wales’ top performing colleges, will host an on-campus open event on Saturday 26th March between 10am and 1pm, welcoming aspiring students, parents, and visitors back to its five campuses for the first on-site open day in two years.
Since the onset of the COVID pandemic, the college moved to a successful programme of live virtual open events to allow you to get a taster for college life while keeping everyone safe. However, now that restrictions are easing in Wales, Coleg Gwent is looking forward to hosting a traditional open day at all five campuses in Newport, Crosskeys, Usk, Cwmbran and Ebbw Vale.
Principal and Chief Executive, Guy Lacey told us……
“After two years of virtual events, it will be fantastic to move back to a face-to-face open day, so that we can welcome people into our college again and show them the amazing opportunities we have on offer. I know that all my colleagues are so excited at the prospect of being able to give all our visitors a very warm welcome.”
The open day will be a fantastic opportunity for you to visit one of Wales’ top performing colleges. You can explore Coleg Gwent’s campuses, fully equipped classrooms and state-of-the-art facilities; talk to experienced tutors about the range of full time, part time and higher education courses on offer; meet friendly support staff to ask questions about college life; and apply for courses quickly and easily on your doorstep.
Art and Design Learner, Aiden King-Smith, attended an open event before choosing a course at Coleg Gwent. Aiden told us…..
“I came to open event at the campus, and it was really helpful to see the facilities, chat to tutors, and see what kind of experience you can have here. Especially as I hadn’t done this before!”
Whatever subject you’re interested in – from engineering to A Levels, healthcare to cyber, and catering to animal care – you can find out more at the open event through interactive activities and experiences. Friendly staff from the college will be on hand to guide you, give advice, take you on campus tours, and provide information about finance, travel, and support services.
The open day is for everyone – school leavers, parents, and mature learners are welcome. It will cover all teaching provision for full time, part time and higher education courses at your local campus. For A Level learner Lilly Powell;
“College has something for everyone to suit your needs. There’s a very strong community spirit at Coleg Gwent. There’s not just one group of A Level learners here like you’d find at sixth form, but instead, there are people interested in every sector, vocation and subject, so there’s a great mix of people.”
Pre-registration for the event is encouraged, and essential safety procedures will remain in place so you can safely experience college life. Social distancing and regular handwashing will be encouraged to reduce any risk for visitors and staff.
