Additional Information

Merthyr College is seeking expressions of interest from private training providers, including those that are self-employed, for delivery and partnering opportunities to add further capacity to our comprehensive training offer, and to increase the range of support the College can provide through funded programmes.

The college is particularly interested in expressions of interest from training providers that are able to deliver accredited or industry recognized training, and engage potential learners in the following categories:

• Digital

• Net Zero

• Advanced Manufacturing

• Construction ( Inc Occupational Qualifications)

• Project Management

Due to the need for the majority of training provision to include face-to-face and/or elements of practical delivery there is a preference for providers to be located or able to deliver training within Merthyr Tydfil, the Valleys and wider South East Wales area if specialist facilities are required.

There is a small leeway for some delivery of online provision subject to individual needs and circumstances.
