20 years of turning trainees into tradespeople.
Two decades of steady work — building skills that translate directly to overseas job sites.
Built from the workshop floor.
SMS Skill Development & Testing Center started with one workshop, one trainer, and a simple idea — that skilled trades change lives when they're taught properly.
Twenty years later, we've helped over a thousand candidates train and thousands walk onto overseas job sites confident in what they can do.
Every program we run is shaped by what employers abroad ask us for — because getting hired is the point.
Mission
Train skilled tradespeople to the standard overseas employers hire for — and stand behind every candidate we place.
Vision
To be the most trusted skill development and testing center for international trade careers from India.
