Drop-in Study Skills
We offer drop-in study support sessions across most of our college sites. These are open to all students and no appointment is required.
Available Monday to Friday, 8:00am–5:00pm
Support is available with:
- Assignment writing skills

- Time management and organisation
- Study skills and learning strategies
Assistive Technology
We offer a range of software solutions designed to support your learning and enhance your study experience. These can be accessed on your own device as well as on college computers.
Exam Access Arrangements
If you require adjustments for formal exams, such as extra time, rest breaks, a reader, or the use of assistive technology, please discuss this with your teacher as early as possible in your course. This will allow sufficient time for any necessary assessments and arrangements to be made.
If you have any questions or want advice about how we can support you to achieve with us please contact the Learning Support Team:

Support for young people in care or care leavers
If you are in care or a care leaver, there is support in place at Exeter College to offer you advice, guidance, and advocacy. There is also Financial Support available, with an allocated bursary fund which would cover your essential course resources and trips, lunches, and travel.
