"Some Areas for Improvement"

We've been generally pleased with UTC Reading, but there are a few areas where the school could improve. Our son has loved the engineering program, but sometimes feels a bit overwhelmed by the academic workload. We've also had some issues with communication from the school, which can be frustrating.

"Excellent Support for Students"

As a former parent, I can attest to the excellent support that UTC Reading provides for its students. The school's focus on industry partnerships has given my son the skills and confidence he needed to succeed in his career. He's now working as a software engineer and attributes his success to his time at UTC Reading.
