Welcome to New Directions College
Reading Borough Council has offered Adult and Community Learning (ACL) for over 65 years in Reading. Today, the service is delivered by New Directions College.
Starting out as Reading Technical College in 1958 we offered courses in Battle, EP Collier and Alfred Sutton Schools. These included fencing, shorthand, car maintenance and for Spring brides “special courses in cookery and needlecrafts.”
We became New Directions College in 2008 when Reading Adult and Community College and the Training Education Advice (TEA) Shop merged.

We continue to deliver adult education within our community and deliver from a range of community venues across the Borough.
Thousands of people have benefited from our courses over the last 6 decades – finding their creative potential; gaining the skills to pursue a career or simply making friends and connections in their local community.
