COLEG Cambria is set to host a two-week virtual open event later this month.

Due to Covid-19, there will be no open days at its sites in Wrexham, Deeside, Northop or Llysfasi, which is why they have taken the decision to invite prospective students to find out more from the comfort of their homes.

Beginning on Monday, 9 November, and running until Friday, 20 November, those attending the online programme will receive information and advice on the wide range of A Level and BTEC subjects available, as well as apprenticeships, degrees, part-time courses and adult learning provision.

There will also be welcome videos from principal, Sue Price and dean of access and higher education, Jackie Doodson, as well as a 3D tour of the institution’s facilities, featuring the £14.6 million Deeside Sixth Form Centre and newly-revamped £20 million extension to Yale in Wrexham.

Principal Price, said: "This has been such a challenging year for everyone.

"Our open days are among the highlights in the calendar and give us a platform to demonstrate the very best of Coleg Cambria, so it’s disappointing we won’t be able to do that in person.

"Because we don’t want people to miss out, we put together an interactive online series of tours, talks and there will be plenty of information available for anyone interested in joining us from 2021 onwards."

Call backs are available from tutors and student support services will be on hand to take questions.

Prospective students can also apply to start a course from next September.

Principal Price, added: "We hope to see a good response and will continue to hold lectures and events online or with social distancing measures in place until the time is right – the safety of our students, staff and visitors is our top priority."
