The very impressive centre is situated at Vector 31, Mansfield Road, Wales Bar where a team of skilled trainers have been appointed by the school to deliver NVQ award-bearing courses. These include bricklaying, plastering, plumbing and electrics qualifications, aimed at Wales’s students aged between fourteen to eighteen years old.
 
This new vocational curriculum is not only relevant and challenging; it is up-skilling the workforce of the future! This aspect is a key development since Wales High School gained national recognition as a High Performing School for Applied Learning.
