shine and succeed

Starting at college can be an exciting yet daunting experience for many school leavers; new buildings, new teachers, new friends. But it can also be a place to grow, reinvent yourself, meet like-minded people and fulfil your ambitions.

Whatever your dreams, Petroc is committed to ensuring all students learn in a safe and friendly environment by providing the support needed to shine and succeed on your journey with us.

If you're a school leaver in Devon - in Year 11 and about to leave school - you may be feeling particularly confused or worried about applying for college; whether to study A Levels, T Levels, an apprenticeship or a vocational course - and which subjects. But don't be; we're here to help! We can support you with choosing the right course as well as providing information about your application, transport options, course equipment and more!
