Cardiff and Vale College

Cardiff and Vale College (CAVC) is one of the largest colleges in the country – transforming education and training across the capital region of Wales. We have over 20,000 students each year and a large staff team of industry experts, sector specialists and knowledgeable and experienced support teams. We are teaching people in top-class industry facilities and centres of excellence across Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan; in the community and in workplaces across the region, Wales and the world. We are proud of our student success rate – one of the best in the sector, with 89% achieving their main qualification. Our focus is not simply on qualifications but also developing the skills individuals and employers require for future success. And it works – with 86% of our students progressing to further study or employment within two months of completing their course. This includes an incredible 1000 students progressing onto university level study since 2015. Our students are given unique opportunities to develop their wider skills, become entrepreneurial and employable and stand out from the crowd. Last year this saw thousands of our students undertake work placements, compete in national entrepreneurial challenges and skills competitions and win more national awards than ever before.
