Smart Training and Recruitment Reviews 

I successfully completed my L5 Coaching Professional apprenticeship last month with Smart Training. I am very grateful for the support and encouragement I received from my tutor, Andrew Tregear. The relentless support I received from Andrew is the reason I completed the course successfully.

The workshops and assignments empowered me with key skills and essential knowledge. The icing on the cake were the peer-to-peer coaching sessions which enabled me to acquire and develop valuable coaching skills.

Andrew provided me with adequate preparation for the End Point Assessment, and this gave me the confidence to succeed.

I feel Blessed that I can now call myself a qualified Coaching Professional.

Thank you so much.

Highly Recommend Smart Training & Recruitment

I recently completed my Level 3 Team Leader Apprenticeship with a Distinction through Smart Training & Recruitment, and I couldn't be happier with the support I received throughout my journey.

A special thank you to Andrew Tregear, who guided me through my apprenticeship with exceptional knowledge, encouragement, and professionalism. His support helped me stay focused, build confidence, and achieve the best possible outcome.

I also completed my Level 2 Functional Skills with the help of Debbie Seilles, who was absolutely fantastic. Debbie was patient, understanding, and always willing to provide extra support whenever I needed it. She made the learning process much easier and helped me gain confidence in my abilities.

The personalised approach from both Andrew and Debbie made a huge difference. They were always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and ensure I had everything I needed to succeed. Their dedication and commitment to helping learners achieve their goals truly sets Smart Training & Recruitment apart.

I would highly recommend Smart Training & Recruitment to anyone looking to further their education or complete an apprenticeship. The support, expertise, and encouragement I received were outstanding from start to finish.

Thank you, Andrew, Debbie, and the Smart Training & Recruitment team for helping me achieve my goals. 🎉

I truly don’t have the words to express how happy and grateful I am right now—I’ve passed my EPA! I want to sincerely thank you, my tutor, Joanne Sadler, for everything you've done during my Level 5 Leadership and Management journey. Your support, guidance, patience, and encouragement have meant more than I can say. You were always there to answer questions, offer advice, and boost my confidence, never making me feel uncomfortable asking for help. Thank you for believing in me, even when I doubted myself. Your dedication to your students is inspiring, and I feel lucky to have had you as my tutor. This achievement wouldn't have been possible without your support at every stage. I’m grateful for your time, effort, and kindness. It’s been an honor to be your student, and I’ll carry what I’ve learned from you into my career. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being such an incredible tutor and for helping me reach this milestone. I will never forget everything you've done for me- Joanne Sadler.

I honestly can say I had the best tutor who helped me through my level 3. Tim helped me grow my confidence so that my end assessments went perfect and I achieved an overall merit all thanks to Tim. Smart training really is overall amazing and I am truly grateful.

Caroline Kelly made sure i had all the help and support to achieve a distinction level pass on my Team leader Level 3 training she was by my side every step of the way offering support and help all the time and made my smart experience amazing and help me achieve all my goals during this time

Overall, I found the HR Level 3 Apprenticeship to be a valuable learning experience that has helped me develop my HR knowledge, skills, and confidence.
One of the main challenges I experienced throughout the programme was the number of tutor changes. The lack of continuity at times made it difficult to build momentum, and I occasionally felt frustrated and overwhelmed. There were points during the course when I felt so far behind that I considered giving up altogether.
However, towards the end of the apprenticeship, Wendy became my tutor, and her support made a huge difference. By that stage, I was struggling to bring everything together, but Wendy helped me make sense of the requirements and guided me in a way that finally made everything click into place. She gave me the drive, determination, and confidence I needed to keep going and successfully complete the course.
Thanks to Wendy's encouragement, support, and belief in me, I was able to finish the apprenticeship and achieve a Distinction. I genuinely don't think I would have reached that outcome without her guidance. Wendy was truly a knight in shining armour at a time when I needed support the most, and I am incredibly grateful for everything she did to help me succeed.
Despite the challenges along the way, I am proud of what I have achieved and thankful for the knowledge and experience I have gained through the apprenticeship journey.

I completed my level 3 Improvement Technician course with incredible support from Mick along the way. Smart Training are professional and reliable and have given me the resources I needed to complete my course successfully. Thank you!

I have used Smart training to do my apprenticeship . The support received, was 100%. I could not fault the tutors and the support they give.

I successfully passed my Functional Skills qualification with the support of Smart Training, and I couldn't be more grateful for the help I received throughout my journey.

My tutor, Debby Seiles, was exceptional. She guided me through everything I needed to know with patience, professionalism, and genuine care. Her kindness, encouragement, and belief in her students are truly remarkable.

Throughout the course, Debby constantly motivated me and always took the time to explain things clearly, making sure I fully understood each topic before moving on. Her dedication and commitment to her students' success made a huge difference to my confidence and learning experience.

I would highly recommend Smart Training, especially Debby, to anyone looking to improve their skills and achieve their qualifications. Thank you for all your support and guidance!

The course has really changed my perspective and enanched my knowledge . The tutor, Emmy has been absolutely paramount to my exams results.

The workshpos were clear, engaging and porfessional.
the care and attention to details higly recommended!

I have passed Learning and Development Practitioner Level 3. At 40 I didn't believe that I could gain a qualification, but I have. My tutor Clare was extremely patient and supportive as I progressed through the course, especially when I was struggling with my confidence. It was easy to reach out to her when I needed reassurance and I never felt rushed during the masterclasses and meetings. It was great that I was part of a cohort to gain different opinions and knowledge, and to share my own. The group was a comfortable size that allowed for open discussion and everyone was included. I will definitely consider Smart Training and Recruitment for my Level 5, but I shall be having a well earned learning break first!

I cannot thank Joanne Sadler enough for her outstanding support throughout my apprenticeship journey. Jo was incredibly supportive, accommodating, and always willing to adjust the programme to suit my needs and professional commitments. Jo’s guidance, encouragement, and feedback helped me build my confidence and develop my skills.

I was honestly praying just to pass my End Point Assessment, so achieving a Distinction was a wonderful and unexpected surprise. Thank you, Jo, for believing in me and supporting me every step of the way. I would highly recommend Smart Training and Recruitment to anyone looking for a positive and rewarding learning experience.

Cindy was really great with me, I had felt so supported by her throughout my whole apprenticeship, I had learnt a lot through the year and got my first ever distinction with her. She was an amazing tutor and really appreciate her time and effort she put towards me. Thank you so much for everything!

From completing a business administration apprenticeship, my experience was great as my tutor Lindsey supported me with all areas of the apprenticeship and helped me prepare for the EPA in which I got the grades I wanted. Highly recommend!

I took the Level 5 Coaching Course on recommendation from a colleague. While the course itself was very time-consuming, with a lot of coursework and admin, the support received from my tutor Andrew was really great.
I would recommend being fully aware of how much time is needed per week to complete the course, as doing this while a full job role was very tough. However, now it is done I do not regret the late nights.

From the start of my apprenticeship all members of CMI were welcoming and friendly. My assigned tutor was Cindy Clarke and well, she was just amazing. Thorough support and guidance throughout my journey, Cindy was supportive and reassured me in my moments of doubt. Regular reviews and clear guidance as to what needed to be completed. I am grateful for her mentoring me over my 2 year period, I actually don't think I would have kept motivated if it were not for her.

A first class team at Smart Training. Mick was a great tutor and a steady support for me during my Improvement Practitioner course. I would highly recommend Smart.

I would highly recommend Smart Training to anyone looking to develop their skills professionally.

Thank you to Smart Training for providing high quality training experience and especially to my tutor Emily Schramm for helping me achieve this important milestone.

My tutor, Emily Schramm was knowledgeable, engaging, and approachable. She was always there if I needed an extra bit of help. I also appreciated how the sessions were paced, allowing enough time to absorb the information without feeling rushed.

In addition, I successfully completed Functional Skills Level 2 in both Maths and English, taught by Debbie Seiles. Her teaching was clear and engaging, however, I needed to dedicate a significant amount of time to independent study as I did not have a strong maths background.

The training material was well structured, up to date, and clearly explained, making it easy to understand even more complex topics.

I would happily attend further courses with this provider in the future.

When I first started I had an awful experience with my tutor, I even withdrew from the course.

However, this was fully turned around when I had my tutor Lindsey, she was absolutely amazing. She is supportive, thorough and gives great feedback to help you improve. Anyone who works with her is extremely lucky.

Can’t speak highly enough of SMART and my tutor Lindsey. The help and guidance you get throughout the course is second to none nothing is too much for them. Getting distinction is down to their patience and help. Thank you for everything.
