“We learn a huge range of subjects and skills, for example this week we have been learning first aid. I have really enjoyed making fantastic friends at college and the teachers have been amazing too. I really love the change from secondary school and the move to independence.”

"I have always enjoyed Business. My plan ultimately would be start my own business, in property perhaps. I have had such a good time learning lots of new things on the course. I study two days a week in College, but it's a full time course so lots of study outside of College. Everyone at College is very supportive and we've made strong friendships on the course. I would 100% recommend Exeter College as a place to study."
