Mrs Hurst added: “Today must be a very proud day, and we share this pride with you all.
“We’d like to thank all our staff who have supported our learners along the way and our governors too.”

The ceremony was followed by drinks and canapes at Iâl Restaurant, and a photobooth proved very popular with visitors keen to capture memories of the day.
Earlier this year, the University Centre announced a new Higher Technical Skills Strategy aimed at enhancing access and participation, encouraging curriculum development and innovation, and forging partnerships within multiple industries to plug gaps in expertise and experience.
New subjects will begin from September – in collaboration with Pearson learning group – in addition to modular, unitised packages and blended delivery,
They will also promote Digital 2030, digital skills, confidence and innovation in teaching and learning; equipping learners as a “future workforce” capable of using rapidly evolving technologies to their full potential, including Artificial Intelligence (AI).
“Our vision is to remove barriers to education and help upskill in areas of demand whilst targeting key policy areas including net zero and the Welsh language – this strategy is a foundation on which to achieve that,” said Emma.
