From Our Students

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. 

James Richards

Level 2 Farm Worker Apprentice
"
 
Before my apprenticeship, I completed the Level 2 Agriculture course at Brooksby.
 
My favourite part of the job is definitely welcoming new life onto the farm, and I've assisted most of the cows into calving this year.
 
My grandparents have a farm, so I knew it's what I wanted to do from a young age. In the future, I'd love to go to New Zealand or Australia!

"

My course has really helped me widen my knowledge, realise there’s still a stigma around mental health, and find something specific that I want to pursue a career in.

Leicester Tigers, Level 2 Sports Turf Apprentice
"

This course reinforces everything I do at work and provides a different outlook on the work I carry out.

I get to look in detail at all the different species of weeds and pests I come upon as a Sports Turf Apprentice. I have always been interested in it since I was younger, so it was an easy decision for me to study this.

Second Year Sports FdSc Student
