The Business course I undertook at Coleg Ceredigion gave me an introduction to all aspects of the business world which made me want to continue my working life in this environment and the tutors’ amazing support to gain the skills, experience and academic knowledge to get me where I am today. I was lucky that I had the opportunity to participate within a team at the Global Enterprise Challenge in Cardiff and, upon passing my courses with a double distinction and distinction, I was awarded an Outstanding Achievement in Business award. College gave me the researching, referencing, writing and communication skills that ensured I had the right tools to be able to complete university work. In 2013 I achieved a First Class BA (Hons) degree in Tourism Business Management from the University College Birmingham. I now work for Aspire Business Partnership, which is a specialist advisory practice. I began my career as a Trainee Business Consultant and within the space of two years I was promoted to Employment Tax and HR Manager. I still tell people to this day how much I valued and enjoyed my time at Coleg Ceredigion and I will continue to do so!

The course at Coleg Ceredigion covered all aspects of art from printmaking, painting and drawing to 3D model making and much more. Attending Coleg Ceredigion was a fantastic experience - it was a hub of creativity and students were encouraged to experiment with materials and techniques in an encouraging and supportive environment . It was here I developed my love of printmaking which is still part of my working practice and it was here that I made my first frame. I was encouraged to believe that a career in art was achievable. On leaving Coleg Ceredigion I trained as a picture framer and studied a degree in Fine Art Painting, Drawing and Printmaking in Carmarthen. A year ago I opened my first Picture Framers and Gallery in Aberaeron where I sell my work and the work of other local artists. I’m about to open a second shop in a neighbouring town. My work is diverse and is based on subject matter ranging from local landscapes to figurative with elements of Abstraction. I continue to use many of the techniques I learnt at Coleg Ceredigion and look back on my time there with great fondness.

Mae’r cwrs yng Ngholeg Ceredigion yn ymdrin â phob agwedd o gelf, o brintiau, paentio a lluniadu i wneud modelau 3D a llawer mwy. Roedd mynychu Coleg Ceredigion yn brofiad gwych - roedd yn ganolbwynt o greadigrwydd ac anogwyd myfyrwyr i arbrofi gyda deunyddiau a thechnegau mewn amgylchedd calonogol a chefnogol. Dyma’r lle y datblygwyd fy hoffter o wneud printiau sydd yn dal i fod yn rhan o fy ymarfer gwaith, a dyma’r lle y gwnes i fy ffrâm gyntaf. Cefais fy annog i gredu bod gyrfa ym maes celf yn gyraeddadwy. Ar ôl gadael Coleg Ceredigion hyfforddais fel fframiwr lluniau ac astudiais radd mewn Paentio Celfyddyd Gain, Lluniadu a Gwneud Printiau yng Nghaerfyrddin. Blwyddyn yn ôl agorais fy siop Fframio Lluniau ac Oriel gyntaf yn Aberaeron lle rwyf yn gwerthu fy ngwaith a gwaith artistiaid lleol eraill. Rwyf ar fin agor fy ail siop mewn tref gyfagos. Mae fy ngwaith yn amrywiol ac wedi’i seilio ar destunau sy’n amrywio o dirweddau lleol i ffigurol gydag elfennau o haniaeth. Rwyf yn parhau i ddefnyddio llawer o’r technegau a ddysgais yng Ngholeg Ceredigion ac edrychaf yn ôl ar fy amser yno gyda hoffter mawr.

Luke Veasey LJV Construction Ltd.
I enrolled on the full time Level 1 Diploma in Brickwork at Coleg Ceredigion in 2004 then progressed onto the CITB Apprenticeship Scheme to complete my Level 2 and Level 3 NVQs and Diplomas in Brickwork whilst working with an employer. I haven’t looked back and have since built up a highly successful construction company. This has allowed me to provide opportunities for many apprentices from Coleg Ceredigion.
Courses are available at Level 1, 2 and 3. When you enrol on the Level 1 full time Diploma in Bricklaying you will be taught modern day techniques along with traditional building techniques. You will develop skills in cavity walling, basic bricklaying, setting out and building masonry structures. You will have an opportunity to build a variety of structures ranging from relatively basic to complicated, impressive structures. You will also learn other technical and practical skills, team working and communication, all vital for career progression. You will be taught in fantastic bespoke workshops with a high standard of resources and modern materials and you will be supported by qualified staff, some of whom continue to work in the industry. The college has excellent links with local industry and the CITB and successful past students of the college, such as Andrew Cave, continue their association with the college by employing Coleg Ceredigion apprentices: “After several years of operating as a ‘one man, one van’ business my business began to grow rapidly and I took on my first Coleg Ceredigion apprentice. Soon I was taking on an apprentice every year to keep up with the increased work and to ensure I kept my workforce trained to the highest standard. Over the years I’ve employed ten apprentices most of who are still in the building trade. I’m glad to be able to help other young bricklayers as they start out in the construction industry.”

Dylan Tandy Carpentry
I enrolled on Coleg Ceredigion’s Level 1 Diploma in Carpentry & Joinery in September 2003 and continued to progress through Levels 2 and 3 on a CITB Apprenticeship Scheme. The Level 1 Diploma gave me a strong foundation of skills which I was able to put to use in the work environment during my apprenticeship. The Level 2 and 3 day release at college helped me develop my skills further in the purpose built workshops. Through the experience I gained during my apprenticeship and at Coleg Ceredigion I have been able to set up my own successful business and have not looked back since. I now employ 2 full time members of staff, both of whom were also trained at the college. I would recommend the courses at Coleg Ceredigion to anyone wishing to make a career in Construction.
Courses are available at Level 1, 2 and 3 with an option of two main trade areas; bench joinery and site carpentry. When you enrol on the Level 1 full time Diploma in Carpentry and Joinery you will be taught modern day techniques along with traditional carpentry techniques. You will gain knowledge of different types of wood and their qualities, including grain density and flexibility to carry out different projects. You will develop skills in measuring, cutting, putting together and joining various timbers as well as using a variety of different hand tools and industry standard power tools safely and efficiently. You will also learn other technical and practical skills, team working and communication, all vital for career progression. You will be taught in fantastic bespoke workshops with a high standard of resources and modern materials and you will be supported by qualified staff, some of whom continue to work in the industry. The college has excellent links with local industry and the CITB and successful past students of the college, such as Steve James, who continue their association with the college by employing Coleg Ceredigion apprentices: “After 10 years of working with a local employer, with whom I’d been an apprentice whilst completing my Level 3 Diploma at College, I changed direction and became a full time fisherman. However, in 1994 I decided to start up my own carpentry business in a small workshop in my garage. I was soon able to take on apprentices from Coleg Ceredigion, including my son, and since then my business has expanded into much larger premises and employs three full time joiners. Our work mainly involves making windows, doors, staircases, conservatories, spraying, plus working on various construction sites if fitting is required. I hope the business will continue to thrive as a basis for my son’s future and I’m grateful to the college for the valuable skills I, and my workforce, have learnt.”

Rhoddodd y Diploma Lefel 1 sgiliau sylfaenol cadarn i mi ac roeddwn yn gallu eu defnyddio yn yr amgylchedd gwaith yn ystod fy mhrentisiaeth. Fe wnaeth y cyrsiau Lefel 2 a 3 diwrnod yr wythnos yn y coleg fy helpu i ddatblygu fy sgiliau ymhellach yn y gweithdai a godwyd i’r pwrpas. O ganlyniad i’r profiad a gefais yn ystod fy mhrentisiaeth, ac yng Ngholeg Ceredigion, rwyf wedi gallu sefydlu fy musnes llwyddiannus fy hun ac nid wyf wedi edrych yn ôl ers hynny.

Fodd bynnag, ym 1994, penderfynais gychwyn fy musnes gwaith coed fy hun mewn gweithdy bach yn y garej. O fewn dim, roeddwn yn gallu cymryd prentisiaid o Goleg Ceredigion, gan gynnwys fy mab, ac ers hynny mae fy musnes wedi ehangu, yn defnyddio adeilad llawer mwy ac yn cyflogi tri asiedydd llawn amser. Yn bennaf, ein gwaith yw gwneud ffenestri, drysau, grisiau, ystafelloedd haul, chwistrellu, yn ogystal â gweithio ar amryw o safleoedd adeiladu os oes angen gosod ein gwaith. Rwy’n gobeithio bydd y busnes yn parhau i ffynnu ac y bydd yn sail ar gyfer dyfodol fy mab ac rwy’n ddiolchgar i’r coleg am y sgiliau gwerthfawr a ddysgais i, a fy ngweithlu.”

Anthony Goellnitz Tutor, Coleg Ceredigion Tiwtor, Coleg Ceredigion
After completing my GCSEs in school I was unsure what to do next. I knew I enjoyed working with my hands and had a passion for Motorcycles and Cars. I took the opportunity to become an Engineering Apprentice where I attended Coleg Ceredigion. The tutors inspired me to further my career and I went on to study a Motor Engineering degree course at UWTSD Swansea before returning to Coleg Ceredigion as a tutor. Ar ôl cwblhau TGAU yn yr ysgol roeddwn yn ansicr beth i’w wneud nesaf. Roeddwn i’n gwybod fy mod yn mwynhau gweithio gyda fy nwylo ac roedd gennyf gariad at Feiciau modur a Cheir. Achubais ar y cyfle i fod yn Brentis Peirianneg a mynychais Goleg Ceredigion. Cefais fy ysbrydoli i ddatblygu fy ngyrfa ac fe es ymlaen i astudio gradd mewn Peirianneg Cerbydau Modur ym Mhrifysgol Cymru Y Drindod Dewi Sant cyn dychwelyd i Goleg Ceredigion fel tiwtor.

Mark Stone Welsh Kitchens
I began work as an apprentice with Makepeace Cabinetmaking 18 years ago and studied at Coleg Ceredigion’s Furniture department one day a week. I relished the challenge and creative satisfaction that making bespoke furniture gave me and the course helped me to develop both modern and traditional Furniture making skills. Since establishing Welsh Kitchens, the business has developed and grown - we are dedicated to building the highest quality bespoke hand-made hardwood furniture. Our work is sought by clients across the country and we employ a team of 6, 4 of which have also studied at Coleg Ceredigion. We still maintain close links with the college’s furniture department and we annually welcome the course tutors and students to visit our workshop. Coleg Ceredigion taught me skills and techniques which gave me a solid foundation for my career and nurtured my enthusiasm for creating bespoke pieces from wood.

Dechreuais weithio fel prentis gyda Makepeace Cabinetmaking 18 mlynedd yn ôl ac astudiais yn Adran Dodrefn Coleg Ceredigion un diwrnod yr wythnos. Roeddwn yn mwynhau’r her a’r boddhad creadigol daeth yn sgil gwneud dodrefn pwrpasol, a helpodd y cwrs fi i ddatblygu sgiliau gwneud dodrefn modern a thraddodiadol. Ers sefydlu Welsh Kitchens, mae’r busnes wedi datblygu a thyfu - rydym yn ymroi i adeiladu dodrefn pren caled at ofynion unigol a wnaed â llaw o’r safon uchaf. Gofynnir am ein gwaith gan gleientiaid ar draws y sir ac rydym yn cyflogi tîm o 6, ac mae 4 o’r rhain hefyd wedi astudio yng Ngholeg Ceredigion. Rydym yn parhau i gynnal cysylltiadau agos gydag adran ddodrefn y coleg ac rydym yn croesawu tiwtoriaid y cwrs a myfyrwyr i ymweld â’n gweithdy yn flynyddol.

I came to Coleg Ceredigion to study on the Pre GCSE course having previously been home -educated. The Pre GCSE was a 1 year course which prepared me for the GCSE course. It covered everything I needed to know to be able to study for my GCSEs. I found the course to be brilliant. In Maths, for example, we started with the basics to make sure we had a good grounding in the subject before working our way up to Entry Level 3 (Pre GCSE exam grade). The classes were small with only fifteen or so students per class which meant you could easily access the teacher’s support. I came away at the end of the first year with the highest possible grade for most of my Pre GCSEs (Entry Level 3). I even received a student award for ‘Consistent Effort’! I’m now studying Level 3 Performing Arts and in my final year. Studying the preGCSE course first was definitely an advantage.

Des i Goleg Ceredigion i astudio ar y cwrs cyn-TGAU ar ôl cael fy addysgu yn y cartref cyn hynny. Gwnaeth y cwrs blwyddyn cyn-TGAU fy mharatoi ar gyfer y cwrs TGAU. Roedd yn cynnwys popeth roedd angen i mi ei wybod er mwyn gallu astudio ar gyfer fy TGAU. Teimlais fod y cwrs yn un gwych. Ym Mathemateg, er enghraifft, dechreuom gyda’r pethau sylfaenol i sicrhau ein bod yn cael sylfaen dda yn y pwnc gan ddringo i fyny at Lefel Mynediad 3 (gradd arholiad Cyn-TGAU ). Roedd y dosbarthiadau yn fach gyda thua phymtheg o fyfyrwyr yn unig yn y dosbarth a oedd yn golygu y gallech dderbyn cymorth y tiwtor yn hawdd. Mwynheais fy ngwersi oherwydd bod yr athrawon yn frwdfrydig ac eisiau i mi i wneud yn dda. Ar ddiwedd y flwyddyn gyntaf roeddwn wedi llwyddo i gyrraedd y radd uchaf posibl ar gyfer y rhan fwyaf o fy mhynciau Cyn-TGAU (Lefel 3 Mynediad). Fe wnes i hyd yn oed dderbyn gwobr myfyriwr ar gyfer ‘Ymdrech gyson’! Rwyf nawr yn astudio cwrs Lefel 3 Celfyddydau Perfformio ac yn fy mlwyddyn olaf. Roedd astudio’r cwrs Cyn-TGAU yn gyntaf yn bendant o fantais.

Kate Butler
Peer Assisted Study Sessions supervisor and trainer, University of Wales Trinity Saint David Before completing the PGCE PCET with Coleg Ceredigion I already had a great deal of teaching and training experience which I’d gained years earlier working with the NHS but I had no formal qualification. In 2011 I began work as a support mentor with a local University. I was offered a learning support role on the basis that I gain a teaching qualification and a specialist qualification within a certain time period. I decided to complete the PGCE first and am really glad I did so; I was immediately given more responsibility as a study skills tutor and I started a year-long specialist qualification confident that I had a strong foundation for understanding teaching and learning approaches relating to supporting students with dyslexia and other learning differences. My role has developed further in the last year. I am now a PASS (Peer Assisted Study Sessions) supervisor and trainer, a role I could not have taken on without the PGCE, and I am about to start a Masters by Research. I could have chosen the PGCE HE over the PGCE PCET, but definitely made the right choice with the Coleg Ceredigion programme. The teaching staff were great fun but the standard was very high. I enjoyed working with colleagues from a variety of settings. The programme provided an excellent background in curriculum design as well as teaching practice and theory and was a more versatile teaching qualification.

Yn 2011 dechreuais weithio fel mentor cefnogi gyda Phrifysgol leol. Cefais gynnig rôl cymorth dysgu ar y sail fy mod yn ennill cymhwyster addysgu a chymhwyster arbenigol o fewn cyfnod amser penodol. Penderfynais gwblhau’r TAR yn gyntaf ac rwy’n falch iawn fy mod wedi gwneud hynny. Cefais fwy o gyfrifoldeb yn syth fel tiwtor sgiliau astudio a dechreuais gymhwyster arbenigol blwyddyn o hyd yn hyderus fy mod wedi cael sylfaen gref ar gyfer deall dulliau addysgu a dulliau yn ymwneud â chefnogi myfyrwyr sydd â dyslecsia ac anawsterau dysgu eraill. Mae fy rôl wedi datblygu ymhellach yn y flwyddyn ddiwethaf. Rwyf bellach yn oruchwyliwr a hyfforddwr PASS (Sesiynau Astudio a Gynorthwyir gan Gymheiriaid), rôl na allwn fod wedi gwneud heb y TAR, ac rwyf ar fin dechrau Meistr trwy ymchwil. Gallwn fod wedi dewis y TAR AU yn hytrach na’r TAR/Tystysgrif Addysg Broffesiynol, ond yn bendant gwnes i’r dewis iawn gyda rhaglen Coleg Ceredigion. Roedd y staff addysgu yn llawer o hwyl, ond roedd y safon yn uchel iawn. Mwynheais weithio gyda chydweithwyr o leoliadau amrywiol. Mae’r rhaglen yn darparu cefndir gwych mewn dylunio cwricwlwm yn ogystal ag ymarfer dysgu a theori ac roedd y cymhwyster addysgu yn fwy amlbwrpas.

It was well structured, providing plenty of tutorial support and learning opportunities through different placements at childcare settings. Before starting on the course I didn’t really engage well with studies, but I knew that I wanted to pursue a career in social work. I gained my diploma at Coleg Ceredigion and was accepted on to the Childhood Studies degree at Aberystwyth University. I completed my first year gaining a Certificate in Higher Education before being accepted on the Social Work degree course at the University of South Wales. Since qualifying in 2014 I have been working as a social worker with the Cardiff Local Authority Child Protection Team.

After finishing 6th form at Penglais School I found myself unsure where to go next and without the necessary grades to go to University. I enrolled on the Health and Social Care course having heard good things about it. I was interested in Human Biology and knew that the course would give me a different educational experience to my previous studies. The college’s relaxed and friendly environment meant I flourished, made great friends and started to achieve excellent grades. The course gave me an opportunity to learn how to manage my own time, prepare for University and finally achieve the grades I needed to secure a place at Aberystwyth University studying Environmental Biology. I have since gone on to complete a Master degree in Managing the Environment and am soon to embark on a PhD in Miscanthus bio-crops. Without Coleg Ceredigion showing me not only how to learn and study effectively but also helping me to find myself and realise that bad grades in school are not the ‘be all and end all’, I would not be where I am today.

Having studied there already I knew the standards at the College were very high. With the support available from teachers and other staff I knew I could complete the course and plan my future. I was always interested in the beauty industry whilst growing up and knew that I wanted to strat my own beauty business eventually. When I started the course the new Hair and Beauty salon had just opened so it was a new and exciting venture for the College. The course was very intense with a great deal of work to do but with the tutors’ support and enthusiasm I found the practical side easy and enjoyable. Throughout the course I built up a good clientele base, meeting lots of new people who also became friends. I left college, saved some money and jumped in at the deep end opening my own business in Aberystwyth - Bond’s Beautique. I loved my time at Coleg Ceredigion and can’t thank the members of staff enough for all their support they were always willing to go that extra mile to help me.

I first found the course at Coleg Ceredigion by chance after moving to Aberystwyth, and having wanted to broaden my knowledge in ICT, I thought it would be an ideal opportunity. I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to do as a career, but I knew that having ICT skills is extremely beneficial for almost any career path. The tuition in Coleg Ceredigion was excellent. My tutors offered loads of support and guidance throughout the course and made me feel comfortable. The facilities provided were industrystandard, and during my time at the college I learnt a wealth of skills including web and graphic design, which I was able to directly apply by helping rebrand the town’s local radio station; Radio Bronglais. In fact, during my time at the college I gained an interest in Radio, and the careers advice provided at Coleg Ceredigion pointed me to the next career step after completing the course. I am now in my final year studying for a degree in Radio, and I’m applying the skills I’ve learnt from my time in college to my University work every day. I feel my confidence has improved greatly knowing that I have the skills to excel in ICT.

Luke Potter Myfyriwr
Darganfyddais y cwrs yng Ngholeg Ceredigion ar hap ar ôl symud i Aberystwyth, a gan fy mod yn awyddus i ehangu fy ngwybodaeth o TGCh, meddyliais y buasai’n gyfle delfrydol. Ni wyddwn yn union beth oeddwn eisiau ei wneud fel gyrfa, ond roeddwn i’n gwybod fod cael sgiliau TGCh yn hynod o fuddiol ar gyfer bron unrhyw lwybr gyrfa. Mae’r hyfforddiant yng Ngholeg Ceredigion yn ardderchog. Cynigodd fy nhiwtoriaid lawer o gefnogaeth ac arweiniad drwy gydol y cwrs gan wneud i mi deimlo’n gyfforddus. Roedd y cyfleusterau a oedd yna o safon diwydiant, ac yn ystod fy amser yn y coleg dysgais gyfoeth o sgiliau gan gynnwys dylunio gwe a dylunio graffig, a defnyddiais y sgiliau hyn yn uniongyrchol drwy helpu ail-frandio gorsaf radio leol y dref; Radio Bronglais. Yn wir, yn ystod fy nghyfnod yn y coleg datblygais ddiddordeb mewn Radio, a chyfarwyddodd y cyngor gyrfaoedd a ddarperir yng Ngholeg Ceredigion fi tuag at y cam gyrfa nesaf ar ôl cwblhau’r cwrs. Rwyf bellach yn fy mlwyddyn olaf yn astudio ar gyfer gradd mewn Radio, ac rwy’n cymhwyso’r sgiliau a ddysgais yn y coleg i fy ngwaith yn y Brifysgol bob dydd. Rwy’n teimlo bod fy hyder wedi gwella’n fawr gan wybod bod gennyf y sgiliau i ragori mewn TGCh.

Deuai cwmnïau ac artistiaid proffesiynol megis NTW, Earthfall ac Eddie Ladd i mewn i’r coleg yn aml i weithio gyda ni ac i arwain gweithdai.

BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Creative Media Production AAberystwyth B2 years BTEC Level 2 Award in Creative Media Production (Level 2 Pathways to the Creative Arts and Sciences) AAberystwyth B1 year
After leaving Coleg Ceredigion I began studying Film in Westminster Film School, one of the best-known film and television courses in the world, where I have had the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects to develop my film making skills - even going as far as shooting and editing on physical 16mm film. In my first year I also underwent training to become an Avid Certified User – giving me the necessary skills to follow my dream of becoming a professional editor. My tutors at Coleg Ceredigion were always extremely supportive, constantly challenging me to give my best and encouraging me to enter my work in film festivals. As a result my films have won awards, been shortlisted and screened at venues such as the Urdd National Eisteddfod 2015, ZOOM 2015, and Ffwrnes Ffilm Ffest 2014. I was also commissioned by the Hafod Trust to create two promotional documentaries. These films are now a permanent fixture on their official website as well as other prominent tourist websites for the Ceredigion area. I loved every minute of the course - it has opened countless doors for me. Most importantly, I’m now moving on to University with confidence and a concrete understanding of what a future in the film industry could potentially hold for me - I owe all this to Coleg Ceredigion’s help.

Myfyriwr, Prifysgol Westminster Ar ôl gadael Coleg Ceredigion fe wnes i gychwyn astudio Ffilm yn Ysgol Ffilm Westminster, un o’r cyrsiau ffilm a theledu mwyaf adnabyddus yn y byd. Rwyf wedi cael y cyfle i weithio ar ystod eang iawn o brosiectau er mwyn datblygu fy sgiliau gwneud ffilm – gan hyd yn oed ffilmio a golygu gwaith ar ffilm 16 mm. Yn ystod fy mlwyddyn gyntaf fe wnes hyfforddi i fod yn Ddefnyddiwr Ardystiedig o Avid – ac mae hyn yn rhoi i mi y sgiliau sy’n angenrheidiol er mwyn gwireddu fy mreuddwyd o weithio fel golygydd proffesiynol. Roedd fy nhiwtoriaid yng Ngholeg Ceredigion bob amser yn hynod o gefnogol, yn fy herio yn gyson i roi fy ngorau ac yn fy annog i gyflwyno fy ngwaith mewn gwyliau ffilm. O ganlyniad, mae fy ffilmiau wedi ennill gwobrau, wedi cyrraedd rhestr fer ac wedi eu sgrinio mewn lleoliadau megis Eisteddfod yr Urdd 2015, ZOOM 2015, a Ffwrnes Ffilm Ffest 2014. Cefais fy nghomisiynu hefyd gan Ymddiriedolaeth yr Hafod i greu dwy raglen ddogfen hyrwyddo. Mae’r ffilmiau bellach yn nodwedd barhaol ar eu gwefan swyddogol yn ogystal ag ar wefannau twristaidd amlwg eraill yn ardal Ceredigion. Gwnes i fwynhau pob munud o’r cwrs - mae wedi agor drysau di-ri i mi. Yn bwysicaf oll, rwyf nawr yn symud ymlaen i Brifysgol gyda hyder a dealltwriaeth bendant o’r hyn y gallai dyfodol yn y diwydiant ffilm ddal i mi - mae arnaf ddyled fawr i gymorth Coleg Ceredigion.
