It is my pleasure to announce a significant development for Agored Cymru with the addition of a suite of qualifications previously offered by the London Institute of Banking and Finance.

Following the decision of LIBF to withdraw their schools and college qualifications, Agored Cymru were chosen to continue the legacy of these qualifications in Wales and the wider market.

We are currently working to consult, review and gain regulatory approval for the qualifications.

I look forward to providing further updates shortly.

Mae’n bleser gen i gyhoeddi datblygiad arwyddocaol i Agored Cymru yn sgil ychwanegu cyfres o gymwysterau a gynigiwyd yn flaenorol gan Sefydliad Bancio a Chyllid Llundain (LIBF).

Yn dilyn penderfyniad LIBF i dynnu eu cymwysterau ysgolion a cholegau yn ôl, dewiswyd Agored Cymru i barhau ag etifeddiaeth y cymwysterau hyn yng Nghymru a’r farchnad ehangach.

Ar hyn o bryd rydym yn gweithio i ymgynghori, adolygu a chael cymeradwyaeth reoleiddiol ar gyfer y cymwysterau. 

Edrychaf ymlaen at ddarparu diweddariadau pellach yn fuan.

Rydym nawr yn gweithio gyda nhw i sicrhau trosglwyddiad esmwyth sy’n eu galluogi i gyflwyno’r cymwysterau hyn.”
