At SMB College Group, our aim is for you to leave college with a fantastic qualification, new friends, amazing memories and, most importantly, the skills and knowledge you need for your future career. We're always looking at ways to improve what we do in order to give you the best possible experience - so it’s always great to get feedback!
Hearing from other students, in their own words, is always more useful than us just saying how great we are - so here are just a handful of past and present students’ testimonials.
Having studied at Brooksby, on the Level 3 Countryside Management course for two years, the skills and knowledge that I gained inspired me to focus on a career in forestry. The tutors, course content and Brooksby estate provided the necessary tools and depth for learning.
I have loved the start of my SMB College journey so far due to the amazing campus and kind approachable staff!
The reason I chose to study at SMB’s Brooksby Campus is because of the smaller class sizes, meaning we got more personalised teaching in our lectures. I really enjoyed the course, especially when we worked in small groups on a variety of projects – allowing me to get a good understanding of all areas of the industry including the behaviours, health and biology of a wide range of animals.
I choose Brooksby for the hands-on learning. I learn best by doing, and I like to be out and about. Brooksby has a great programme and lots of space with a whole host of animals, so it was a ‘no brainier’ for me.
The Uniformed Public Services course at the Brooksby Campus prepared me for getting into the Army by giving me the time and facilities to get up to the physical standard – for example I was able to practise the bleep test as much as I needed to. The expertise of my Lecturers also helped me to ensure that I was training correctly, both physically and mentally. I also learned valuable skills like map reading so that I had a good grasp of the basics before developing these skills once I joined the Army.
