Steven – Civil Engineer – MS Project
Training was excellent – very knowledgeable and able to answer questions and provide examples.
Dawn – Information and Knowledge Manager – Project Management Principles
“I’d like to thank all your team for their help whilst I was training for the MS Office Plus Diploma. They were all open, very friendly, and knowledgeable in all the MS Office applications and the supporting PC hardware & software. I particularly liked the training format, informative, user friendly application manuals & supporting audio files. This made the whole experience rewarding & enjoyable. I would have no hesitation in recommending Pitman Training to my friends & colleagues.”
AF – Microsoft Office Plus Diploma
“I studied a Pitman Accounting Technician Diploma. My intention was to use the course to complement my accounting qualification and as a return to work plan in my chosen career area.
Since my training, I believe that the course has assisted me in that I am now being trained for cash office duties and procedures. I have as well been given a chance on a volunteer basis by one of the housing association in their accounts departments through courtesy of Central Scotland Racial Equality Council, where am having a chance to work with Sage Line 50 v12 and Sage payroll. Am drawing heavily from what I have learnt in Pitman Training.
I would lik to thank all the staff at Pitman and especially the Supervisors who were very helpful whenever I needed assistance.
Having been allowed to pay for the Course on monthly instalments, making it possible for me to afford the Course in easy instalments.
The fact that you can be able to programme your time of attendance is a big plus to the college.
The courses are very well presented in a methodical manner that makes it easy to follow and would recommend to others who are looking forward for training.”
EK – Accounting Technician Diploma
The skills that I learnt on the course come up time and time again on a daily basis and I am sure that the diploma on my CV has ensured interviews for a number of job applications.
L B – PR Assistant
“I thought I would drop you a line to say that I am now established with my new job where I am working as a Property Manager. As you know when I came to you I was just about able to bang out an e mail and wouldn’t have known where to find such sophistications as “page breaks” etc. A really challenging student for your ever patient and encouraging team! I would certainly say to anyone thinking of a course with you not to consider being too old to learn. I certainly had my extreme doubts but the constant encouragement from your team got me through!
I am now using a fairly all embracing software system which is tailored to the needs of this company and in addition my Outlook and Word skills are used all the time. I feel completely confident in saying that despite many years in the property business I would not have been able to cope with this job without the training I received at Pitman, thank you.
My new employers are both very computer competent but I believe I may have the “edge” on PowerPoint – how satisfying is that!
I would recommend the Fast Track Microsoft Skills Diploma course to anyone wanting to enhance their employment prospects, it certainly worked for me.”
