If you have a disability, please let us know what you need so that we can make all reasonable adjustments to enable you to access your learning. We will provide, wherever possible, as wide a range of opportunities and support for students who have disabilities and/or learning difficulties and have a commitment to encourage you to join chosen courses wherever appropriate. We have the facilities and are happy to produce learning materials in a variety of formats where necessary. We can, if appropriate, provide a range of equipment to help students access learning, and additional support is available within the classroom or workshop environment if required. The College recognizes that people are a key resource within the organization and therefore fully accepts its responsibilities with regard to the health, safety and well-being of its staff, students within its care and where appropriate, visitors to its premises, and others who could be affected by its activities.

Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
Quality of the facilities are lacking in several areas, many of the staff are nice, however there are a few that damage the learning atmosphere, would not recomend to anyone who is not extremly selfdiciplined.

Had an awesome time in South Devon High School (the GCSE section of the college) - Now in A-Levels and with any luck university soon and A-Level staff are the top I've experienced so far. Highly recommended for people who want to succeed but don't want to "have fun" at PCSA like I had.

Currently enjoying my second course at SDC ALC and it's a great place to learn new skills, the tutors I've had have been very friendly and helpful and the facilities are great. Will be doing more courses for sure!

Currently doing a Access to HE diploma in science and the teachers are lovely, the lessons are very detailed, and for those that make the most of the teacher and resourses they will go very far with SDC.

The College it's self is a nice building the staff that clean are nice, wish I could say the same about some of the teaching staff.
The main issue I have with the establishment is that they are trying to be more than they should, hosting a High-School, College and University. The issue with this is that there is people of all ages walking around causing issues with each other... The College should of stayed as just a College and Uni as these two things coincide with each other as the College leads into the Uni.
The English staff are the nicest in the whole College, helping me pass my English GCSE that I was unfortunately not able to pass at School.

I would highly recommend this place. Best thing around for the younger generation. The high school is great and the teachers are exceptional.

I have attended four evening courses at the college and have also completed several online courses. The courses have been interesting, fun and stimulating. The teaching and helpzone staff have always been very informative and supportive and I absolutely recommend the college.

Studied here for 4 years on the performing arts course starting from level 1. I can honestly say that it has been the best 4 years of my life. The teaching is just remarkable, however, the funding and publicizing of the course are very little and it would be nice to see something be done about that.
I'm now furthering my performing arts career by going to one of the most innovative drama schools in the UK studying BA Acting and Physical Theater at East 15 Acting school due to successful audition.
Of course, its just as much about the person as well as the course, you have to want something in order to achieve, if your into the performing arts and wan't a career in it, then South Devon College is 100% the right place for you.
Thanks again guys, Please support the Performing arts course more!!
