At work we do a 4 on 4 off shift system

I have social, domestic, pleasure, commuting and business use on my car insurance.
It didn't cost me much to add on the business bit.
Alternatively you don't tell the insurance company after an accident that you were driving for your work, but it sounds like you already have.

The OP will mean car insurance. This sounds like a grey area to me. If business cover isn't needed for driving to/from work I would argue that driving from home to college and back on one of the days is just like driving to work but at a different location. But if you go into work first then drive to college from work I can see it can be regarded as company business so business cover is needed.
I suggest the first thing to do is to check whether you already have such cover. Mine already included 'commuting' (which in my case would currently be to the Job Centre!) and then ask the insurer what the implications are of going to college. It's better to know now than find a claim is turned down later.
