SMB College Group launches skills bootcamp on sustainable land management skills

SMB College Group is excited to announce the launch of their brand-new Skills Bootcamp in Level 2 Sustainable Land Management Skills!

The Skills Bootcamp is an intensive 12-week course designed to equip individuals with essential practical skills and knowledge for a career in the land management sector, with a strong emphasis on sustainability.

Covering key areas such as health and safety, machinery operation, habitat and forestry management, and regenerative agriculture, students will develop confidence in working with chainsaws, tractors, brush cutters, and more, while also learning critical digital tools like mapping software and social media for the land-based sector.

With a focus on decarbonizing agriculture, sustainable forestry, and practical estate skills, this course prepares participants to thrive in a rapidly changing environmental landscape.

Upon completion, learners will be ready to pursue employment in farming, forestry, environmental management, or related fields, while contributing to a greener future.

Alex Gray, Curriculum Quality Lead and Programme and Project Lead for Agriculture at SMB College Group, said “I’m thrilled to announce that this year we’re offering our Sustainable Land Management Skills course.

Whether you’re employed, unemployed, or self-employed, this course provides a comprehensive overview of the sustainable land management sector, with insights into the various sub-sectors that play a vital role in environmental stewardship. If you’re passionate about a meaningful and rewarding career in the outdoors but aren’t sure where to start, this course is the perfect springboard into this increasingly significant industry.”

The Skills Bootcamp will be taught at SMB College Group’s Brooksby Campus, an 850-acre campus based in the heart of the Leicestershire countryside and specialising in land-based industries. The campus is home to Hall Farm, sprawling fields, an equine centre, and animal studies facilities.
