Introduction

At Coleg Sir Gâr and Ceredigion, you have a variety of options when it comes to the type of qualification you can apply for. 

  • A-Levels give you the opportunity to study a number of different subjects at once, your learning will be mostly classroom based and you’ll be assessed on course work and exam results.
  • Vocational courses prepare you for a chosen career. They combine a mixture of theory and practical learning and may include some work experience.
  • Apprenticeships are a way to earn money whilst also earning qualifications. You’ll learn on the job, with one day a week of college to back it up.
