Armed Forces Courses – Cardiff and Vale College International Centre for Aerospace Training

ARMED FORCES

The Cardiff and Vale College International Centre for Aerospace Training has long been a proud supporter of the British Armed Forces.

The Cardiff and Vale College (CAVC) has a large contingent of ex-servicemen working as Lecturers and Managers who all understand the difficulties faced by members of the Armed Forces who are actively studying. Fitting in studies around busy work and family lives is never easy, but is especially difficult for Service men and women who are subject to deployments at a moment’s notice. CAVC will always provide support and help to make sure our students from the Armed Forces can carry out their duties and study flexibly.
