Vocational and technical excellence

Vocational courses can be studied at Level 1, 2 or 3 depending on ability. They combine practical learning with academic subject and theory content. These are career focused qualifications which give students the skills, subject knowledge and experience to pursue a variety of careers within their chosen sector, whilst also providing a clear route to university or an Apprenticeship, depending on their chosen path. Most subjects will include some form of external assessment and assessment through coursework. A lot of these courses have a built-in work experience placement and/or work-related learning so that students get first-hand experience of working within their sector.

Vocational courses are standalone courses which usually cannot be combined alongside other subjects/ courses.

Students will be taught by industry experts in dedicated facilities with industry standard resources. Courses at Exeter College also have fantastic links to employers. Level 1 and Level 2 courses are studied in one year and students can usually progress from these to the next level. Level 3 qualifications are typically studied over two years and they are equivalent to three A Levels. We offer T Levels (see pages 17-18), BTEC and UAL qualifications and other vocational courses called NVQ or VRQ. NVQs and VRQs are practical courses that prepare students for the workplace. Students can progress from a Level 2 NVQ on to a Level 3 NVQ. A BTEC Level 3 Foundation Diploma is studied in the first year and is equivalent to one and a half A Levels. In the second year students progress on to the Extended Diploma. The full qualification (two years) is equivalent to three A Levels. We offer a large range of qualifications.

Full information about different levels of study can be found on pages 11-12.
