ColegauCymru is today congratulating thousands of learners across Wales who are celebrating their achievements as they receive their A level and Level 3 vocational qualification results.
This year learners have once again demonstrated resilience, ambition and dedication across a wide range of subjects and pathways in what continues to be a challenging time for learners. From traditional academic routes to vocational qualifications, the results reflect the diversity and strength of Wales’ further education sector.
Speaking on results day, David Hagendyk, Chief Executive of ColegauCymru, said,
“Today is a celebration of the hard work and determination of learners across Wales. Whether they’ve studied A levels, vocational qualifications or a mix of both, their achievements are a testament to their commitment and the support of dedicated staff in our colleges. These qualifications open doors to exciting futures - whether that’s university, apprenticeships, employment or further training. We’re proud of every learner and the role colleges play in helping them succeed.”
ColegauCymru also recognises the vital contribution of college staff, families and support services in helping learners reach this milestone. The organisation continues to work with partners across Wales to ensure that every learner has access to high-quality education and the opportunity to thrive.
