Six steps to Exeter College

1. find out about our courses by:

» Looking at the course, Apprenticeship and College information on our website and in this guide. In particular, take a look at the course listing at the front of the guide and see pages 7-24 to find your level and the best type of qualification for you. » Talking to your College Adviser, teachers, school careers adviser, parents, our

Apprenticeship Team, employers and friends. Discussing your skills, interests, and career aspirations will help you with making the right course choice. » Coming to our Open Events - they’re a great way to get a taste of the College.

Events covering all subjects are on 13 October 2022 (4-8pm), 23 November 2022 (4-8pm) and 26 April 2023 (4-7pm). Our city centre sites, Technology Centre and

Construction Centre will be open to view on these dates. Please visit our website exe-coll.ac.uk/open-events to register.

2. complete your application form.

Apply online - it’s really easy and you will get an immediate acknowledgement email. Alternatively, you can download and print an application form or pick one up from College. If you’re applying for one of our academies, fill out their application form(s) which is separate to your course application and is available on our website as well under the academy section. We recommend you apply by the end of January 2023 to guarantee an early interview. If you’re keen on Apprenticeships and do not have an employer yet, you’ll also need to apply for a full time course as a backup plan. If you have any queries you can phone us on 01392 400444.

3. come to an interview.

We will invite you for an interview where you will discuss your chosen course(s) or Apprenticeship with tutors, plus any extra support you may require. We will then offer you a conditional place on your chosen College course, pending your GCSE or other exam results, or whether you find an employer if you are applying for an Apprenticeship.

4. august gcse results day.

If all of your grades are what you expected - we look forward to welcoming you at enrolment. If your grades are not quite what you expected, don’t panic - ring our dedicated Results Helpline on 01392 400555 to find out if you’re on the right course or what other courses might suit you.

5. attend your College enrolment.

We will contact you in early August about your enrolment appointment, which will be around the end of August and beginning of September - so remember, don’t book your holiday then. Please note, this may be slightly different if you’re choosing an Apprenticeship.

6. get off to a flying start.

Level 1, 2 and 3 students on full time programmes will find out about our Flying Start assignments prior to starting with us. These are short pieces of introductory work to help students get a feel for their new subjects and the type of work expected in their first year.
