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.
Becoming an apprentice has helped me better myself and my career path, as this pathway could take me into many job roles.
I chose SMB College Group for my apprenticeship as I was supported well in previous years by the progress tutors and head of course when help was needed.
It just feels like it was always meant to be engineering for me.
I found that I’ve received a lot more respect for being a female in this kind of industry.
Female engineers shouldn't be a rare thing - make it normal!
My favorite part about my engineering apprenticeship, especially at AB Produce, is that no two days are the same. One day could be no breakdowns - meaning working on intricate, fine details on machinery parts - and the next day could have several huge breakdowns, resulting in belt changed, stripping lines down, full nut and bolt replacements, etc. Being an engineer can be challenging and that is what makes the job interesting to me personally.
At the start of my time at SMB College Group, going from being home all the time and than moving to away from home 5 days a week was challenging for me but everyone was in the same situation which made it a lot easier. However it also meant I got to focus on rugby and my course.
My time at SMB College Group has given me many opportunities to learn, achieve and help others both on and off the field.
