Higher Education and Adult Learning Fair bursting with opportunities
Exeter College is holding a dedicated fair for adult learners in the region on Monday 25th June. For the first time the college will showcase all of the Higher Education courses it has to offer along with the wide variety of Adult Learning courses.
The event will take place at the Hele Road campus from 5pm – 8pm where visitors will be able to talk to tutors, find out more about study options and discover the huge range of courses that can be studied at the college or in community and school venues across the city from September. The new Adult Learning course guide for the Autumn will also be available.
Adults thinking of re-training, seeking a career change or looking to try something new will be able to get quality advice and guidance to choose the right course. Subjects on offer include counselling, teacher education and hairdressing as well as a range of leisure courses such as spinning (indoor cycling), cake decorating and silver jewellery making.
University-level courses will also feature, with courses accredited by the universities of Exeter, Plymouth, Kingston, and UCP Marjon. Advice and guidance will be available on how to apply, accommodation and finance and lecturers will be available to discuss each subject.
Rachel Iles, Head of Advice and Recruitment at the college says “There are literally hundreds of courses ranging from vocational to leisure and from basic numeracy and literacy courses, to GCSEs, Steps to A levels and NVQs and higher education qualifications.”
She continues, “Adults are asking us for courses that will help them retrain so that they can secure the career they’re keen on or that they want to get further qualifications so that they can get the promotion they want in their current job”.
Julie Skinner, Head of Higher Education at the college says “We're really excited to introduce Higher Education course advice and guidance to the event, it will be a great opportunity for people interested in a HE course to find out more. Higher Education at Exeter College is a really good option to study locally and affordably. We have expanded our range of courses, including a new BA in English and Creative Writing and have some spaces left for this September. Importantly, for those who feel they may have missed out on going to university, we will also be offering information on our Access to HE programmes which are a recognised entry route for those who don’t have the formal qualifications universities are looking for.”
