  • Can I still enrol on a course even if I don't work for a Voluntary Sector Organisation?

    Due to the nature of our courses they are more suited to the public and voluntary sector and not particularily relevant to the business sector.  This is because most of the courses are contextualised to cater for the needs of these sectors.

    How do course tutors access the PODs?

    1. Once your signed contract has been received by Exeter CVS you will be issued with a user name and password for your specific course.
    2. Your user name and password will also enable you to access the Course Tutor Forum.

    This facility will be available to course tutors for the duration of their contract.
