WHO WE ARE

North Hertfordshire College (NHC) is a further education college with over 2,000 full time students in the full range of sector areas.

Everything we do at NHC is about helping students get where they want to be in life.  That means helping them to develop both the knowledge and skills they need to progress in their chosen occupational area, and the employability skills that we know employers expect of young people when they enter the world of work.

NHC is part of the Hart Learning Group which also includes Hart L&D, a progressive learning and development business that helps business clients of all sizes to engage with emerging talent, and the Hart Schools Trust – a burgeoning multi-academy trust which sponsors a small number of schools in our local community.

By 2023, we want to be known as an exceptional place to study, where we provide students with an inspiring curriculum that develops the skills, knowledge and behaviours they need to be successful in their lives and future careers.

We will help provide a skilled workforce that powers the regional economy and meets the current and future needs of employers.

We will be a valued and visible part of our community, making a positive contribution and working with a diverse range of community organisations to improve the lives of residents.
