Matt Steele, Level 3 Health and Social Care
"At Petroc you get treated like a grown up, they teach you how to be more independent in your learning, how to manage your time and get assignments done by deadlines.
"Coming here has given me so many more learning opportunities, I have been doing work experience for the last 10 weeks at Pathfield School and I have been accepted into the 999 Academy and the Health and Care Academy which is great"
"I went to Bideford School, so coming to Petroc was a decision to try something different, experience new things rather than the same things at school. I come to Petroc by bus which is really easy, I have made loads of new friends and found the support here really amazing.
"In my first year I had to get some emotional support from the college's Student Services which was good for me. Petroc has been brilliant and I would recommend coming here to anyone."
Eleanor Blackburn, Level 3 Health and Social Care
Marshall Hooper, Level 3 Health and Social Care
"The staff at Petroc are massively supportive. They prepare us really well for assignments, coursework and exams. They help us with online resources, practice papers, help and support in class and talk about areas we're not sure about.
The lecturers make us feel confident and prepared for the work we are doing. It's brilliant."
Rachel Westacott, Level 3 Health and Social Care
"It is a great college with friendly and supportive staff and learners, where people actually care about others. Lecturers are really approachable, you can ask them for help and nothing is too much trouble. I would highly recommend Petroc, I love everything about it."
