For nearly fifty years, Exeter College has been successfully providing professional and accredited courses for adults living in Exeter and the wider area.

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.

“After I completed University I decided I wanted to go into teaching. The Apprenticeship is perfect, as I am now on the career ladder, gaining the experience I need to progress and a good grounding in teaching. The advantage of doing an apprenticeship over class-based work is that I am actually working with children and learning through direct experiences. I am lucky as I have also been able to use the specialist skills from my degree within my role, supporting in our Microsoft Academy studio.”

“Our apprentice, Kurt, has taught us valuable new skills - particularly how to utilise social media as a business.
