Cardiff and Vale College

I am from Taiwan in Asia. My son is studying sports course. My son said: the classmates and teachers are very friendly. The tutor and football coach have given him a lot of assistance and care. In addition, the sports facilities are also quite complete and the content of sports courses is quite practical. I am very grateful for the services provided by the school to students.

It's meant to be for adults wanting to gain skills and enhance employability? I don't think so, if you haven't got traditional GCSEs you can't enrol on many courses. The college doesn't recognise other qualifications or life experience. Disappointing and not inclusive.

Been here with the youngest for open day and interview. Staff were really helpful and tried hard to find the right course.Campus is really nice, with a variety of room sizes. Lifts seem very slow and a lot of stairs but very open and light building otherwise.Really like it as the campus has really friendly and inviting feel.Bonus for inclusive toilet which while it's disabled toilet as well kinda makes sense but actually has bin for incontinence products and dispenser for sanitary products so Meets needs of disabled persons often that disabled toilets don't include.Also impressed they had poster for safe space for students of colour and BAME persons.Staff really pulled out stops to find right course for my youngest working throughout summer to find good academic fit.

What a nice experience in this college.It's the largest college in wales and the best in my opinion

A little bit chaotic but it was one day after GCSE results. Looks as good facility

It is a wonderful college, full of wonderful staff and they have made my future brighter. I recommend you come to this college, as they are nice and friendly people.

Using a different name to remain anonymous. I attended this college a few years back studying performing arts. Was awful! our tutor Andrea Hodges was one of the worse people I’ve ever met. Absolutely vile woman. She had zero patience with anyone else especially the students who were neurodiverse. She also always took a disliking to the physically bigger students too. She would always come into class in a bad mood and would snap at people, which is such a unprofessional thing to do in this industry. She had her favourites who she would allow to get away with all sorts from bullying to never turning in and being late. But if anyone else did this she would hit the roof. She made it a very toxic environment and I had such bad mental health from attending there, I was left with trauma and social anxiety after my experience there and it took me a while to build myself back up again.That fact that life as not been kind to her in recent years as mine has become better and better shows that karma really came for her…I hope it humbled her.

Amazing place can't wait for my son to join them next year.

I went to this college and it was the best. Everyone is so nice and treat you so good

Beautiful buildings. Well organised. Friendly supportive staff.The courses they have on offer cover a wide range of abilities and interests and I would definitely recommend the college to anyone whether you are a school leaver or an adult learner looking to change your life
