Active Ambassadors
The active ambassadors program provides an opportunity for learners who are interested in sports development, physical activity, customer service and event management. It's a great way to further develop skills such as leadership, communication and teamwork. There are also opportunities to gain extra coaching qualifications, attend trips away and mentoring.
Duke of Edinburgh (DofE)
If you are interested in getting involved in the Duke of Edinburgh or would like to continue your journey, we can offer you that opportunity at The College Merthyr.
The DofE is described as ‘a life changing experience’. There are four sections to complete at bronze and silver level and five at Gold. They involve helping the community/environment, becoming fitter, developing new skills, planning, training for and completing an expedition and, for Gold only, working with a team on a residential activity.
