College

Day and Residential College Placements
The College offers both full-time and part-time day placements, allowing learners to study for up to two years at any of our four College sites. Programmes typically begin in September and follow a 38-week academic year, but learners may also start at other times, subject to available funding.
ESPA College also provides 38- and 52-week residential placements and respite placements. Start dates are flexible depending on individual circumstances.
