Social and Vocational Studies

The faculty of Social and Vocational Studies [SVS] is ideal for students who want to pursue careers in beauty therapy, hairdressing, care or nursing or who want to further their education in a well supported environment.

Having achieved the recognition as a Welsh Centre of Excellence for its Care courses, the SVS faculty is cutting edge when it comes to knowledge and expertise.

If you choose to study Hairdressing, Beauty or Complementary Therapy, be sure to experience a real life salon environment at either the Broadway or Cefn Hengoed Centres. These facilities provide plush contemporary settings for you to be a part of.

If Health and Social Care takes your fancy, then our courses will enable you to gain a sound understanding of the health and well-being mix. Work experience is an integral part of these courses, giving you the chance to sample a range of vocational settings and develop practical caring skills.

With the college being committed to student support, the Supported Studies area is a quality learning environment for any student with learning difficulties or disabilities. The area aims to develop academic and social ability to help students realise their full potential. Whichever route you take, professional staff will be on hand to guide you through your learning journey.
