College Site Tours

College Site Tours

On this page you can book a tour of our full city centre sites.

Who can attend?

Due to restrictions on availability these tours are for applicants hoping to join us on one of our school leaver (16-18) courses beginning in September 2021 only. Learners hoping to join us at a later stage will have the opportunity to visit us at one of our open events next academic year. Due to the nature of these walking tours, please notify us in advance if you have any disabilities affecting mobility.

Group Sizes

Tours will be held in maximum group sizes of 10 students. Due to the limited availability booking is essential and we ask that only applicants themselves attend the tour wherever possible. If necessary, applicants can choose to reserve up to one additional place for a family member or guardian.  

Advice and Guidance

These tours are designed to help you to familiarise yourself with the college facilities. Teaching staff will not be available during the tours, however our college advice team can answer any quick questions you may have. Should you require detailed advice and guidance, please contact the team on 01392 400600 or cat@exe-coll.ac.uk prior to your visit.
