About Us

Symmons Madge Associates Ltd (SMA) has been providing high quality training and professional development support to the engineering and construction industries since 1990. 

We deliver training consultancy, both in-house and open construction and engineering training courses, mentoring and coaching throughout the UK and overseas.

We work closely with the major UK construction and engineering institutions to ensure that all training and mentoring activities are compatible with their requirements for professional qualification and continuing professional development (CPD).

We also work with universities to manage the placement and mentoring of sandwich course students on their "Year in Industry".
