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.
“My first year at Brooksby College has been extremely rewarding and has exceeded my expectations. As part of this qualification, all students are tasked to complete 150 hours of mandatory work experience in an animal related establishment. I was fortunate enough to secure a place at Farmlands Canine Country Club, a Dog Daycare facility located in Leicestershire. Finding a suitable work experience can be a challenge, however I found that physically visiting different animal establishments with my printed CV and cover letter gave me a greater chance at forming a successful first impression. This placement gave me the opportunity to develop many of my personal skills such as teamwork, customer service, problem solving and using my initiative as well as the opportunity to develop my knowledge and understanding of a wide range of the different dog breeds.
I've wanted to be in the police force for as long as I can remember. Currently, I'm in my second year of the UPS course at SMB College Group’s Brooksby Campus. My journey has been incredibly rewarding and has solidified my passion for entering the Police.
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 study Equine Management at the Brooksby Campus.
I have loved the start of my SMB College Group 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.
