Alternative Curriculum / Schools
Whilst the majority of our learners are aged 14 - 19 years old, we do deliver training to school children via the Alternative Curriculum and mainstream routes.
We offer BTEC qualifications in a range of subjects to Alternative Curriculum learners, who attend lessons in Construction, Woodwork, Blacksmithing and Metalworking, Plumbing, Motor Mechanics, Beauty, Art and Design, Digital Media, Hospitality, Sport, Childcare and Hair.
We also deliver lessons at HCT or in schools for GCSE and A-Level equivalent courses. Currently, we are delivering the following qualifications in collaboration with Secondary Schools in Ceredigion:
