Testimonials

They seemed to be so impressed that I had been at Pitman Training to do the training. I cannot believe how doing one course can transform your job area.

J M – Management Support Officer

“I started doing a Secretarial Diploma at Pitman because I had been working in retail since graduating from university in 2008. I had pretty good admin skills but no qualifications and felt like I was stuck in a rut. Pitman was a perfect fit for me because I was working shifts at my job at Glasgow Science Centre and could come in whenever I was free.
At first I thought I was just going to be getting a qualification for skills I already had but I actually learned a lot more than I expected. Modules like Effective Business Communication were helpful and I did electives in Access and Introduction to Medical Secretary which was extremely helpful in getting my new job.
In May 2013, before I had even completed my diploma, I started my job as an Audio Typist for the NHS. I had been searching the NHS pages before I started my diploma and it took the help of Pitman to actually help me find a job. My typing and audio typing skills along with the medical terminology learned in Pitman have been essential in my progress within my job with my manager telling me she feels I have a career in the NHS ahead of me.
I just discovered today that I received a distinction for my diploma and am now thinking of where to move up within my new sector. Without Pitman, I don’t think I would have been able to get out of retail so I’m very happy to have chosen to take this course!”

“I was previously working as an Office Manager for a small online retailer – which I enjoyed – but I was ready for a new challenge and wanted to expand my CV.
I couldn’t fault the training at Pitman. Each course was easily manageable as it was split into lessons. To add to that, the supervisors were always on hand to help out with any questions, however big or small.
I applied for one job I particularly liked the sound of, and after two interviews, a psychometric test and three skills tests (which I was able to complete with confidence due to my training at Pitman) I found out I was successful!
I am now Office Manager and PA to a senior member of staff at one of Scotland’s leading estate agents. I absolutely love my new role and I am learning more and more every day.
I could have easily stayed in my old job but wanted a new challenge, on a different path, and Pitman training was the stepping stone I needed.
I would fully recommend the Executive PA course to anyone looking to develop their skills and CV. It gave me confidence to apply for the job I have now, helped me in the interview process and above all, now helps me on a daily basis in my new role.
The team at Pitman made me feel welcome and comfortable, and my time spent at York Place was most enjoyable.
Many thanks!”

Very engaging, simplified a lot of complex issues to meet the needs of the audience. Genuinely found both days very fascinating – very rare that I can listen to someone speak for 2 days and not get bored, but Julie achieved this! Can’t wait to try out my new tools and techniques!

“I started off with Pitman doing Microsoft Office 2007 specialist before progressing into Microsoft Office 2010 and attaining Microsoft Office Master status by sitting Microsoft exams at Expert Level in Word and Excel and standard level Outlook and PowerPoint.
To add to my knowledge I have just completed Pitman’s ‘Train the Trainer’ 3 day course and applied to become a Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT). With this training I have plans to increase the knowledge of Office within East Coast Mainline staff.
The skills and knowledge I gained, studying at Pitman Training, have made my job easier by using the advanced features in Microsoft Office to ‘correctly’ format and automate reports and simplify data collation. The ‘Train the Trainer’ course has provided me with increased confidence in dealing with people and situations and will allow me to improve working practice in the office by imparting my ‘Pitman gained’ Microsoft Office Knowledge to others. By raising the overall Office knowledge this should allow the depot to operate better with less time spent ‘trying’ to figure out bullet points and how to create graphs and more time spent doing the actual work.
You have an amazing team of staff at York Place, they are all a credit to you.
The flexibility of learning at Pitman Training is excellent given that you are able to study at Pitman Offices or distance learning at work or home to suit your personal circumstances.
I would thoroughly recommend Pitman Training whether you are looking to improve your situation by training to get a better job or improve your job security at your current location by improving your skills.”
