Thank you for visiting our website. Reading College has a strong history of academic excellence that goes back over fifty years and exciting times now lie ahead for us as we continue to develop and grow.

Provision at the college is extensive and covers a wide range of levels. Our major focus is to ensure students of all ages not only succeed in their qualification, but are better prepared for their next steps, whether this be progression into higher education or employment, or within current job roles.

We are constantly working with employers and communities across Reading and Berkshire to make sure that our courses are relevant and reflect the needs of business and industry in terms of real-life employability skills. We also set high expectations and standards in a friendly and supportive environment. This is because we believe our students will achieve more if they are confident and happy whilst being stretched to their full potential.

It is essential to make the right choice, and we realise that a number of people are involved when making decisions about education. Students, parents and employers are all warmly invited to visit the college at one of our open evenings to learn more about our available programmes and progression routes. Alternatively our advice and employment teams are always on hand to offer information and guidance or to set up an interview with the appropriate course leader.

We look forward to welcoming you to the college.
