Who we are

Petroc is Devon’s leading general Further Education (FE) college and we provide a huge variety of educational opportunities to students of all ages.

We used to be North and East Devon Colleges but changed our name after a merger in 2008. We officially became Petroc in September 2009.

The college works with around 18,000 full and part time learners every year; mainly from Devon, Cornwall and Somerset.

We also work further afield; across the South West region, all over the UK and internationally.

Petroc employs just over 1,000 people in North and Mid Devon, making us one of the area’s biggest organisations.
