Online SMTD


This programme has won a prestigious East of England National Training Award.

It is designed for those individuals who would prefer to use an online method of study and/or those for whom access to conventionally delivered training courses is difficult, e.g. offshore workers, people working overseas.

During 2008, two different programmes will be provided by the ECITB.

  1. The original on-line OSMTD Programme will be provided to facilitate completion of the programme for those learners who are presently following this route.
  2. An up-dated version of the programme which closely reflects the new SMTD Programme developed for conventional training room delivery is currently being piloted. It is anticipated that this new version will be available to industry by mid-2008. The launch will be announced on this web site and through an industry Newsflash as well as the normal forums and other channels of communication.

Learners are able to blend the two learning styles by completing some modules online and some through the conventional training room method.
