Course Provision

Coleg Sir Gar offer over 2000 courses via online and blended learning, many of which can be accessed globally. Our online courses are certificated and accredited by a wide range of awarding bodies including; Highfiled, Axelos, University of Wales: Trinity St David, Agored Cymru, City and  Guilds, plus many more. All of our online courses include support from a real person at the end of an email or video call.

About us

Coleg Sir Gâr’s Virtual College first opened its virtual doors in 1998, offering a small number of IT courses. Since the development of technology, changing mind-sets towards online learning and the ability to offer our courses globally, we have developed our provision to offer an exciting range of accredited courses. More recently online and blended learning courses have become the norm within most faculties, rather than sitting within a faculty of their own.

We offer Individual and Company Training

We cater for both the individual and the company or organisation, working closely with our students, employers and careers advisors to support CPD needs. Not only do we have a selection of over 2000 courses ready for enrolment, we also author, build and develop bespoke bilingual e-learning courses to meet specific needs of our local partners and employers.

Many businesses are proud to be able to give something back to the community in which they operate. Industry sponsorship helps to ensure that our students continue to have access to the best resources and study within the best possible learning environment.

We believe that it is important for every company to link with and offer support to their local community.

Communities support businesses; sponsorship is a great way of saying thank you by helping others have the access to great learning resources; ultimately you will be supporting the economic development of the region at the grassroots.

Linking your organisation to our colleges may also help to raise awareness of your organisation’s work.

You can choose to sponsor anything from a small contribution to the student hardship fund to a larger sponsorship arrangement, for example sponsorship of the Graduation ceremonies or sponsoring an area within the college like our Forge theatre, Sports Gym, Hair Salons and Restaurant

Sponsorship can be in the form of a financial contribution, provision of equipment and materials or the provision of specialist speakers to enhance the student learning experiences.

Here are a few of the possible sponsorship opportunities:

Events

Graduation Ceremony – an annual event in July which has more than around 2000 participants

Celebration of Student & Staff Success – annual events to recognise and celebrate both learner and staff achievements within our curriculum and programme areas.

Equipment or Resources

Our College is always striving to ensure our students are working with sector leading resources and equipment.

Sponsorship or donations can help support us to provide additional resources which would otherwise be out of our limited budgets; access to sector leading technology and equipment resources can significantly enhance the student’s learning experience and open up a wider variety of work opportunities at their end of their course.

College Programmes

Some sponsors choose to sponsor specific programmes at the College which are linked directly to their business. There are a very wide range of programmes which means for most sectors of industry there will be an appropriate opportunity.

Student Hardship Fund

Some sponsors wish to contribute to the student hardship fund which allows the College to support students through difficult times in order to maintain them on their courses whilst they have difficult personal circumstances to deal with.
