I’d recommend Coleg Gwent because you can gain a lot of industry experience here. The college has a professional restaurant which is open to the public, so you can learn to pick up speed and the ability to cook in the kitchen, as well as learning how to work as a team. The Chefs’ Forum is great too, because the college brings in highly levelled chefs to teach us and help with our assignments.
