Background
History
Between the 1950s to the 1990s there was a Neath College and an Afan College; each college had their own administration and staff. Both colleges independently offered O levels, A levels, National Diplomas and other qualifications. When the boroughs of Neath and Port Talbot merged to form a unitary Authority in 1996, the two colleges decided to merge as one also. Instead of each campus being called Neath College and Afan College, it became Neath Campus and Afan Campus. The college also had an outpost at Queen Street in Neath Town Centre, where the ECDL were offered and other part-time courses were available too. Further facilities were situated at Margam Country Park in Twyn Yr Hydd House…
