1. What are the benefits of becoming a partner of YMCA Wales Community College?

YMCA Wales Community College can provide high quality teaching and accreditation services, and in some cases funding.

In 2006 the College achieved the highest possible grading across all of its provision following an Estyn Inspection, so you can expect high quality teaching and support, high attainment rates and cost effective operation.


2. How can my organisation become a partner of the College?

To become a partner you must identify a learning need which is not being met elsewhere.  All provision must be aligned to the College’s mission statement, which can be found here.

Priority is given to courses that address any of the following issues:

1. Community Activism
2. Social Exclusion
3. Community regeneration
4. Developing youth work capacity
5. Improving employability
6. Engaging with minority communities
7. Environmental sustainability
8. Financial literacy
