Exeter Post-16 EOTIC & SEND Provision | Player Ready Devon

If college isn’t the right fit, our Post-16 EOTIC provision in Exeter offers a safe, creative, and supportive alternative for 16–19 year olds with SEND, EHCPs, or SEMH needs.

Player Ready Exeter supports young people who are Educated Other Than In College (EOTIC), and who thrive with a more personalised, interest-led curriculum. We welcome those with ADHD, Autism, PDA, anxiety, or school trauma — and build provision around strengths and confidence.

Player Ready is an officially approved NOCN Centre. NOCN is a nationally recognised awarding body regulated by Ofqual, trusted by schools, colleges, and training providers across the UK. This ensures every learner’s qualification is quality-assured and respected by employers and further education providers.
