Exeter Consortium Schools' Alliance

Exeter Consortium was the BEST decision I made for my career! My first interaction with the team gave me a clear insight into the course. I found myself applying without any hesitation.

I have just finished my training year with Exeter Consortium, having changed career in my 30s, and I have to say that I've been blown away by the professionalism and personable support the course leaders provide.

If you are looking to start a teaching career, train with these guys :)

Exeter Consortium have been absolutely brilliant. I feel completely supported and know that my success and wellbeing as a PGCE student is really important to them. The communication is great and very prompt. The course leaders are just a lovely, committed and friendly bunch of people!
