EDUCATION & TRAINING FOR VETERANS
Build Your Skills. Gain Qualifications. Create Your Future.
SMARTT Veterans provides education and training opportunities designed to help veterans develop new skills, gain recognised qualifications and improve their employment opportunities.
Leaving the Armed Forces can be the beginning of an exciting new chapter, but finding your way into civilian employment is not always straightforward.
At SMARTT Veterans CIC, we understand that veterans already possess valuable skills, experience and knowledge. Leadership, teamwork, discipline, communication, organisation, problem-solving, and working under pressure are just some of the qualities developed during military service.
Our Education & Training programme is designed to help you build on those skills, gain recognised qualifications and take the next step towards your future.
Whether you are preparing to leave the Armed Forces, looking for a new career, returning to employment or simply wanting to develop new skills, SMARTT Veterans can help you explore your options.
YOUR MILITARY SKILLS ALREADY HAVE VALUE.
You already have the skills. We help you turn them into civilian qualifications.

Training That Opens Doors
The right qualification can make a real difference when entering the civilian employment market.
Some veterans find that employers do not immediately understand how their military experience transfers into civilian roles. Gaining an industry-recognised qualification can help bridge that gap.
Our training opportunities cover a wide range of areas, including:
