The training quests from the Hall of the Novice are available from any of the 'Smith' NPCs. In addition to the Adventurer's Guilds they can also be found in front of each of the early dungeons.
The actual physical hall is located outside Aleport in Western La Noscea though, and within you can find some additional helpful information for beginners in addition to doing the training quests.
