Coleg Gwent (English: Gwent College) is Wales' largest further education college at various locations in the former county of Gwent, South Wales.[3]
, it has 24,000 students[4] ranging from secondary school leavers to mature students. A wide range of part-time and full-time academic and vocational courses are on offer at the college.
The college operates from five campuses[5] – City of Newport, Crosskeys, Usk, Blaenau Gwent Learning Zone in Ebbw Vale,[6] and the Torfaen Learning Zone (a £24 million purpose-built campus, in Cwmbran).[7]
There are also two 'Learn-IT' centres, based in Monmouth and Cwmbrân. These offer flexible, drop-in courses on a range of Information Technology subjects as well as marketing, maths, English language and Welsh language.
The college's administrative headquarters are located at the Usk campus.
Pontypool campus originally closed in 2020 but was reopened when it became apparent that there was not enough space for all the apprentices on the Newport campus. After the 2023 summer term, Pontypool campus closed permanently.[8]
