New Walk Centre
All of our training courses take place on the first floor of B block in New Walk Centre. The entrance to B block is on King Street.
There are four training rooms on the first floor. A board located just before the doors to the training room indicates which courses are in which of the rooms on any given day.
If you work for the City Council you will need to bring your ID badge and CRYPTAG with you to get into B block. If you do not have a CRYPTAG you should go to the Customer Service Centre on King Street and ask the officer on reception to ring 7604. If you do not work for the City Council you should also go to the Customer Service Centre.

Lunch
No lunch is provided for any of the training courses, but New Walk Centre is close to a variety of sandwich shops, cafes and restaurants.
