Petroc is a general further education college with two campuses, one in Barnstaple and one in Tiverton. The college offers academic and vocational courses from entry level to level 6. It provides education programmes for young people, courses for adults, apprenticeships and courses for learners with high needs. The largest subject areas include A levels, construction and health and social care. The North Devon campus in Barnstaple offers a full range of courses, including all the college’s A-level and T-level courses. The Tiverton campus is more focused, with most courses being for learners with high needs in subjects such as foundation learning and preparing for adulthood. They also teach a limited range of construction and health and social care courses. At the time of the inspection, 2273 learners were studying on education programmes for young people, with just under half studying at level 3. The college has 408 learners studying adult courses across 13 subject areas, with the largest numbers in English and health and social care. Several Skills Bootcamps for adult learners, including in construction, were running during the inspection. The college had 651 apprentices across 40 different apprenticeships, with the majority studying at level 2. Most of the apprentices are over 19 years old. The largest numbers are in construction and health and care subjects. Petroc has 425 learners with education, health and care plans (EHC plan). Of these, 258 study vocational and academic courses, while 167 study on courses specifically designed for learners with high needs. The college works with two subcontractors. One is a provider that works with a very small number of 16- to 18-year-old learners and learners with high needs. The other teaches a few apprentices in health and care.
