Course Overview

You will study towards a nationally recognised apprenticeship, whilst being employed by SMT GB. During your time as an apprentice you will learn through a combination of on the job training and formal college-based education at Reaseheath College, in Nantwich.

The apprenticeship is 4 years long in total, with the first 3 years being in a block teaching format.

The second year is spent slightly differently to the first and third as apprentices experience other parts of SMT’s servicing network across Great Britain. This requires apprentices to work in SMT’s Machine Preparation Centre located in Immingham, Lincolnshire and the Used Equipment and Parts Centre located in Bruntingthorpe, Leicestershire.

The fourth and final year of the SMT GB apprenticeship is an inhouse improver year working with SMT GB at one of their locations across Great Britain.

At the end of the 4 years, the apprenticeship awarded is level 3 Land-based Service Engineering Technician.
