Course Availability

The running of adult and community learning courses is subject to receiving sufficient enrolment numbers. Oaklands College reserve the right to postpone or cancel a course if it has not received the minimum required enrolments by the scheduled start date. In the case of cancellation, those students enrolled will be notified a minimum of 2 days prior to the start of the course, where appropriate an alternative course will be offered or a full refund of their course fees will be processed.

The College works with Hertfordshire Adult and Family Learning Service (HALFS) to provide learning opportunities to those who are most in need or have least opportunity to achieve formal and informal qualifications. As a result, some of our courses can be offered at a lower fee or even free to some applicants.
