Rees:

The problem is in your syntax. Change Exp(-3*x1/a) by Exp[-3*x1/a]. This
way, everything will work well.. Don´t forget to load the package
Statistics`NonlinearFit` previously.

In[1]:=
data = {{0.1, 0.113387476}, {0.2, 0.194633152}, {0.3, 0.252848224},
           {0.4, 0.294561145}, {0.5, 0.324449759}, {0.6, 0.345865887},
           {0.7, 0.361211213}, {0.8, 0.37220662}, {0.9, 0.380085173},
           {1., 0.385730403}};

In[2]:=
<< "Statistics`NonlinearFit`"

In[6]:=
NonlinearFit[data,   c*(1 - Exp[-3*x1/a]), {x1},   {c, a}]

Out[6]=
0.4*(1 - E^(-3.33333*x1))
