Adult Learning
Please note: All summer Adult Leisure courses have been cancelled for the summer term. We will contact all students enrolled and we’re hoping to run these courses again from September.
Upskill your future
For nearly fifty years, Exeter College has been successfully providing professional and accredited courses for adults living in Exeter and the wider area. Our experience has shown us that students who participate in adult education develop a range of valuable skills which can be transferred to enhance individual or work-related aspirations.
We offer a wide range of courses and apprenticeships from entry level to degree level, so whether it is progressing in your career, returning to work, improving your Maths and English, working toward a degree or taking up a new interest, we will have a course for you.

“Our apprentice, Kurt, has taught us valuable new skills - particularly how to utilise social media as a business. He really has a passion for cars, understands the market and how to reach our customer base. It really has been a two way relationship and we would encourage other businesses not to hold back.”
