INFORMATION, ADVICE & GUIDANCE

Advice & guidance team

here to help

The Advice & Guidance Team is your first stop for impartial and confidential information regarding course choice, careers, funding, travel and any other support you may need.

We offer advice and guidance to both current and prospective students to help support every element of your progression, achievement and experience at Petroc. Whether you're a school leaver looking to take on a full-time course or an adult learner looking to learn a new skill or hobby, our dedicated, professional team can help you on your journey from selecting the right course through to understanding the grades required for entry and then supporting you with your application.

You can view our full range of courses on our website or by viewing our online guides: Our School Leavers prospectus (for all full-time courses at North Devon and Tiverton Campus), and our Higher Education prospectus.

Petroc learners are at the heart of the team and if we can’t answer a question, we'll go above and beyond to find someone who can!
