“I really love how supportive the environment is at Exeter College, especially on my course. It has really helped me develop as a person and an actor, and the confidence I have gained is incredible.”
“My course is really hands-on and practical, teaching us skills that you don’t get in the classroom. I really enjoy the theory too, we look at things like sports nutrition, health and safety and the history of the industry. The facilities at Haven Banks are fantastic.”
“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 decided to study Travel and Tourism because I want to become cabin crew and this course provides the required qualifications that I need to get the job as crew. So far I have found the course challenging but interesting and have loved learning about all the different roles of cabin crew and visiting the Future Skills Centre. I would recommend Exeter College because it has friendly staff who encourage you to do your best and is a good opportunity to meet new people.”
“I chose this course because I go overseas and travel frequently and I have always enjoyed the environment and experience in terms of customer service, so I wanted to give that back and reciprocate it on to customers so they can experience the same thing I did.”
“In classes there are lots of fun activities and good examples which help you to learn faster. I really enjoy the finance and accounting side of Business and I would like to work in a bank in future.”
“I have enjoyed learning about customer service, it was interesting to understand how to deal with people and it helps improve your social skills. I picked Business because it’s a good course for lots of different jobs and excellent business knowledge is something lots of employers will look for.”
“I chose to study the T Level because it offered a good all round view of construction. I have found the industry placement a very effective way of learning how things are done.”
