History

Coleg Sir Gâr has been providing further education since 1985. It was first created as Carmarthenshire College of Technology and Art (CCTA) following the merger of a number of technical colleges and the Dyfed College of Art. In 1992, the College became an independent corporation having previously been under the control of the Local Education Authority. Since 1 August 2013, the college has been part of the University of Wales: Trinity Saint David Group.

The Graig Campus, Llanelli, was formerly occupied by Graig Comprehensive School and Llanelli Boys' Grammar School. As CCTA, the Llanelli campus was based at Alban Road in Llanelli. This was the site of former Llanelli Technical College.

Carmarthen School of Art originated in 1854. It combined with the Llanelli college in 1971 to become Dyfed College of Art. In 1979 the new campus at Jobs Well Road, Carmarthen was built.

Virtual college

The virtualcollege.ac.uk was created in 1998 by Coleg Sir Gâr to meet the growing demands of industry in Carmarthenshire.

Since then the virtual college has expanded to include almost 1000 courses in a number of areas, amongst them teacher training, accountancy, business, leadership and management, health and safety and languages. All the accredited courses are delivered completely online supported by tutors from the college.
