Course Venues

Our courses are delivered either using the online Zoom platform or in the classroom in our campuses across Hertfordshire. Due to the COVID-19 situation and adhering to the NHS and Government guidance, we may have to change the venue and move online.  Please check dates, times and locations in advance of attending the course.

Co-production is at the heart of the college and a vital part of our work includes using your feedback to ensure our courses are beneficial for all. Please allow some extra time to provide feedback when planning your journey.

Classroom courses

New Leaf Recovery and Wellbeing College runs courses from accessible community venues across Hertfordshire. If a course isn't running at your nearest venue, we encourage you to access any of our venues to aid your learning experience. To help plan your journey, this Hertfordshire County Council page shares public transpoort details, such as transport for older or disabled people, train times and bus routes and timetables. If you're driving, you can use Google Maps to calculate travel times and this online fuel calculator to assess the cost of driving. 

Zoom courses

The College currently runs many of their classes online via the platform Zoom. 

We ask that all students who attend a Zoom course ensure that the name on their device matches the name used to register for a course.
