			''Coleg Powys'' is the further education establishment in the County of Powys, Mid [[Wales]]. It has main campuses at Brecon, Llandrindod Wells and Newtown and a major outreach centre at Ystradgynlais. It also works closely with partners in the County Council and other organisations to deliver services in multiple locations throughout the community, as well as providing facilities and teaching for students studying towards degrees accredited by the [[University of Wales]] institutions in both Lampeter and Newport.

			In 2005/06, the college supported over 9,000 individual learners in obtaining qualifications in a wide range of vocational and academic subjects. Many of these learners benefited from the additional learning support and study skills development programme that enabled them to complete their main qualifications successfully and to progress to higher education or employment.

			Coleg Powys will merge with [[Neath Port Talbot College]] in August 2013. The newly merged entity will comprise 12 campuses serving 18,000 students covering about a third of Wales.

			Its web site is http://www.coleg-powys.ac.uk/
