North Hertfordshire College ("NHC") is a further education and higher education college operating in Stevenage, Hitchin, and Letchworth Garden City. NHC was established on 1 April 1991, through the amalgamation of Stevenage College, Hitchin College and Letchworth Technical College.
The college was established on 1 April 1991 when further education in Hertfordshire was reorganised. One of the institutions merged into the new college was Hitchin College of Further Education.
The College has two campuses in Stevenage, one in Hitchin, and an administrative centre in Letchworth Garden City.
The Stevenage Centre, opened by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 2003, is the largest campus and is home to learning childcare, GCSEs, Higher Education, health and social care, and science.
The ECC focuses on construction and building trade services, teaching courses such as carpentry, plumbing, electrical, brickwork, engineering, and painting and decorating. In 2011, the centre expanded with a new welding course offer which was officially opened by Skills Minister Matthew Hancock.
The Hitchin Centre focuses on the learning of business, tourism & events, hair and beauty, catering, sport, public services and creative arts. From 2012 to 2014, the centre underwent an extensive redevelopment.
