“I studied the Accounting Technician Diploma with Pitman Training in Edinburgh. I decided to do this course, as I was just about to be made redundant, and decided that I wanted to gain some new skills to help me when applying for a new job. I was also thinking about starting my own company, and thought that finance studies would never go wrong.
A couple of months after redundancy, I got a temporary post at SAMH, and then applied and got my current post as the HRD (Human Resources & Development) Administrator. Although I hadn’t completed the course when I got my job, the skills I had learnt so far has helped me out in my new job, as I have to monitor budgets and make monthly reports to my boss.
I enjoy learning at Pitman. You learn at your own speed, which makes it all much easier. This is the second course I’ve done at Pitman, and would recommend it to anyone.”
LM – Accounting Technician Diploma
“I successfully completed Executive PA Diploma at Pitman in 2013. With the help of Pitman training I also gained Microsoft 2010 Master Qualification which enabled me to become a confident and proficient administrator in record times.
But most importantly, Pitman training changed my life, forever and beyond I could have ever imagined. I did not have a job and had a very low self-confidence. It took me a while to have a courage and sign up for the advanced course that I had chosen, but I never looked back since that moment and everything in my life went on from strength to strength.
The staff became my second family and I would like to thank you for making me a better person. Every day you were transforming a young girl into a confident successful woman. We, as students are so lucky to have you.
After completing Pitman I was working for a Law Company, Edinburgh College and sat further exams that enabled me to progress further in my career.
I have recently been accepted for the position of Sales Consultant with Travelex. It took me just 7 days to get approved for the job since I saw the vacancy at the Job Fair and had a phone call to congratulate me for getting the job!!
I owe a lot in my life to Pitman Training. It truly changes lives, it gives confidence in your professional abilities, provides you with necessary qualifications to get that Dream Job!!”
DT – Executive PA Diploma
“As I was due to retire from teaching within a few months, I was looking to update my computer skills in order to facilitate a move to part time work in administration/ reception. After a chat with Linda, I decided upon the Fast Track Microsoft Office Diploma. This enabled me to remember work I had previously done in class using Word and PowerPoint and to also extend my use of the programs. The three others modules covered were Outlook, Excel and Access. I have to say Access was the most challenging for me, even though I could see the logic in it!!
I thoroughly enjoyed working through the modules as you are able to work at your own pace and go over areas again and again until you feel comfortable with your understanding. Another very positive aspect to going in to the Centre to work is the invaluable help given by the staff who are friendly and on hand to iron out any little problems; they calm you down when frustration levels begin to rise at your inability to see where you have gone wrong and expertly set you back on the right pathway!
I am delighted to say that I completed the course with Distinction.
At the moment I am not working but am now veering towards working within the NHS. In order to further my chances with this I am currently studying Medical Terminology. Again a bit of a refresher for me as I have previously studied Anatomy and Physiology, but am enjoying it none the less as it makes me use my brain cells. Not a bad thing!
Although not working I have been looking at the Show Website for NHS workers and will also be looking to find temporary work through an agency, if the first option does not work out, in order to gain experience back in an office environment.
I am glad I made the decision to call Pitman and chat to Linda about options. I can be a bit of a learning junkie and once I have the bit between my teeth I may well find another area to study and keep me at Pitman that bit longer.
Very satisfied client”

I have a job with the Inland Revenue as a Revenue Assistant. I enjoyed your course’s flexibility the most, as it was at my own pace.

“I started studying for a Secretarial Diploma with Pitman training in September 2013. After working as a mail room assistant for years, I wanted to move on to a better job with more opportunities.
I researched courses at various colleges but the hours weren’t suitable for me with a full time job. I liked the flexibility of studying with Pitman, it allowed me to study in my own time and at my own pace. At my first meeting with Linda we chatted about what kind of job I would like to do in the future and what kind of organisation I would like to work for. I had originally been interested in taking an ECDL course but after speaking with Linda we decided that a Secretarial Diploma would give me more opportunities of finding the job I was looking for.
I was very impressed with the course materials and facilities and found the course straightforward and easy to follow. The learning environment is very relaxed and girls are all very friendly and helpful. I have learned so many new skills while studying with Pitman and also learned to feel confident in my abilities. In July 2013 I started working as an administrator in an organisation that I have wanted to work in for several years. My new employer, the Scottish Police Federation was impressed by the qualifications I had earned and with the amount of my own time I had dedicated to studying for them. I love my new job and without all the help I received from Pitman Training I wouldn’t be in the position I am in now.
I want to thank all the staff for all the help you gave me and for making the time I spent at the training centre so enjoyable. I would recommend anyone to take a course with Pitman Training and wouldn’t hesitate to take another course if I feel I need to expand the skills I have learned in the future.”

Everything I wanted from the course and more, Marion was approachable, I felt comfortable and at ease.
Charlotte – Executive PA – Executive PA Seminar

Kenneth – Faculty Head Sciences – Time Management
“When I first came to Pitman my life was at a bit of a crossroads. I had just been made redundant from a job I had worked in for almost 13 years. I had been a hallmarker, putting hallmarks on pieces of jewellery. Although quite a skilled job, outside of this specialised profession my skills and experience were now to be useless in what was a tough and competitive job market.
So here I was out in the real world again, and in my mid 40’s too. This was when I decided, with some coaxing from my wife to go to Pitman and eventually enrolled in the Book Keeping level 2 module 1. The advisor explained the courses available and gave me some extra confidence that I could complete the course. I hadn’t done any real studying since I had left school many years ago, and was only barely computer literate but I soon got into the swing of things and started to really enjoy my course. The supervisors were always very helpful and I liked the peaceful, friendly environment to study in.
I had not long completed (and passed with distinction) my course when I was lucky enough to get a job as an accounts assistant with Menzies Distribution, in one of the biggest accounts departments in Edinburgh which I had seen advertised at the job centre. I had only been unemployed for 3 month but I’m sure that through my new qualification and support from Pitman I had now found a new Job in a completely different field.
I have now been at Menzies for over 2 years, and have recently returned to Pitman to study Sage 50 with plans to do Microsoft Excel next. I proved to myself that it’s never too late to start studying again.”
MB – Book-Keeping
“I studied the Legal Secretarial Diploma with Pitman because I wanted to have some formal IT qualifications and was interested in finding work in the legal or property sector. Before taking the course I was doing housekeeping and cleaning work and I had decided I wanted to look for something with a more administrative focus.
I had used computers a lot before doing the diploma but I now feel like I have a much better and more organised understanding of programmes like Microsoft Word and Excel and I am confident enough to experiment with them.
I thought I could already type very well but I am so much faster now that I’ve done the Typaz and speed development courses.
I have just been offered a job as a Plans Officer with Registers of Scotland through the Pertemps agency. I wouldn’t have been able to apply for this job without my Pitman diploma.
I would definitely recommend Pitman to others, especially other graduates, because it gives you more confidence and more options. I liked being able to work at my own pace and the supervisors in the training room were really helpful with all my modules.”
HB – Legal Secretarial
Julie was obviously very confident and capable with content on course. Wonderful style and completely approachable. Overall the course is very hard to fault. Julie was lovely throughout and left me with a really thorough understanding which will be very valuable. Thank you.
Tracey – Student – Train The Trainer
“Before I started my training at Pitman I was unemployed, I had been working as a accounts assistant in a hotel for three years and although my last job was in accounting I had no knowledge or understanding of SageLine 50 Computerised Accounting, which is widely used throughout many organisations, so it was important for me to learn this accounting software.
I found all the staff really helpful in guiding and advising me throughout the course and when I had finished they suggested I should take the Computerised Sage 50 Payroll course to complement further my skills.
On finishing both courses, I was also advised by the staff to take the external examinations from the International Association of Bookkeepers (IAB) in both of the courses I had studied. Once I finished the IAB exams in June 2013 I became committed in searching for a job in an accountancy position. The knowledge I had gained and the results of the courses enhanced my C.V and I felt much more confident when applying for jobs.
After two months I managed to secure three interviews, two of which offered me jobs. I accepted a full time sales ledger assistant position in Skyscanner.
I would like to thank Pitman Training staff for all their help and support which has helped me to secure the job that I wanted.”
MR – Sage
Enjoyed the Supervisory Skills course, picked up useful tips and methods on how to handle difficult situations.
Deborah – Finance Team Leader – Supervisory Skills
“This was one of the most useful training sessions I have ever been to.The tutor gave a lot of practical advice and I thought asking people to commit to action plans to take advice back to the workplace was great.The trainer really listened to people and made sure everyone’s objectives were dealt with fully.”
Zoe Westwood—–Project Officer—-Changeworks
“I decided to study for Pitman’s Executive PA Diploma last year after having been out of work for some time. This turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life and a turning point for the better.
As I was unemployed at that time, I planned to complete my course in a short space of time and attended Pitman Training College, Edinburgh on a daily basis.
The Pitman staff and tutors were caring and attentive and I could approach them at any time for help. I never felt pressurised knowing that I could complete the modules at my own pace. The course definitely gave me the confidence and ability to successfully apply for positions knowing that I had a good head start in comparison with so many other people in the job market. I started to apply for positions towards the end of my course and was fortunate to immediately secure a temporary post in an organisation providing housing and support for older people in 25 locations across Scotland.
I am now pleased to report that I have been made a permanent employee and am thoroughly enjoying my position there.
I completed the course and, as I had chosen legal modules as electives, I received my Legal Secretarial Diploma as well as my Executive PA Diploma with Shorthand, both with distinction.
I would like to thank Pitman and the wonderful tutors for the fantastic training and assistance they have given me. I could not have done it without them and I have no hesitation in recommending the College to those wishing to improve their skills and to making themselves more employable.
Pitman can literally change your life!”
JM – Legal/Executive PA Diploma
Marion created a fun training environment and always encourages questions and opinions.
Jennifer – Insolvency Administrator – Report Writing
Marion was excellent. Kept us all motivated. Structured the session well. Looking forward to attending another one of Marions training workshop.
Natalie – Executive Assistant – Report Writing
“The Fast Track diploma helped me no end. I managed to find a job in a major financial player and the confidence given to me through the relevant courses were valuable. A helpful staff and a flexible time to do the course in were key as it can be suited to everyone. I found a new job in just 2 weeks!”
MO – Fast Track Diploma
“I recently studied Marketing Essential with Pitman Training. I currently deal with marketing in my business. As Managing Director and Marketing Director I felt it necessary to gain some formal training in marketing.
Pitman Training’s course allowed me to study at my own pace in my own time and at my convenience – thus alleviating the stress that returning to study can cause. The on hand tutors provided efficient and effective back up and the training room was a peaceful and relaxed area to study.
I thoroughly recommend Pitman Training – and even signed up for a Diploma course with them as a direct result of enjoying the Marketing Essentials Course.”
GS – Marketing Essentials
Julie was able to convey the content of the course clearly and used lots of real life examples to demonstrate. As we were a small group she was able to detail the course to meet our own objectives. Very useful course with knowledgeable trainer. I have learnt skills which will be used immediately within the workplace and at home.
Cara – Assistant Accountant – Influencing Skills
“Working as a secretary with Axis Media I felt that I needed to brush up my skills on some of the Office programmes that I was using as part of my job as well as gaining a recognised qualification. The Fast Track Diploma did this for me, and clarified some of the “mysteries” surrounding programmes such as Access which I had used slightly but never fully explored.
The course books and audio CD were clear and easy to follow, and the training staff were all very friendly and helpful, to the point of offering advice even after the course had finished.
Their unfailing cheeriness and sense of humour (together with the excellent facilities and pleasant working surroundings) added to the good atmosphere at the Pitman’s centre which is why I’ve now come back to do another course!”
PF – Fast Track Diploma
Very easy to understand, follow and very approachable.
Michelle – IT change manager – Assertiveness
Everything I have learnt can be used throughout the future not just in my employment. The Information came across well and I will definitely use it throughout my daily routines at work. I was Very impressed by the service today – friendly, welcoming and nothing was too much trouble.
Yvonne – Family Support Worker – Receptionist Seminar
Clear and easy to follow instructions.
Karen – Cashroom Assistant – Word
Marion was really good and helped me to understand what I was doing and extremely fun.
Fiona – Trainee Administrator – Assertiveness
I thought the Executive PA Seminar was just fantastic, our trainer was excellent, she was completely inspirational and motivational, she really knows her stuff and maintained your interest at all times. I would recommend this course to any PA who is looking to increase their confidence in knowing how best to deal with their boss, the assertiveness training in particular has proved to be very useful!
Overall, it proved to be an invaluable opportunity to gain useful skills and share experiences with other PA’s. I’m already thinking of which course I can go on next!
Hayley—–PA
“After 12 years working for an airline I decided to make a career change and started looking into various training companies. I selected Pitman Training based on their helpfulness and support.
I started studying in August of 2007 and initially signed up for Comptia’s A+ to ensure I was making the right choice. After completing this with the great help I got from John and Martin I then went on to study for my MCSA.
Before completing my course I started applying for a few jobs and was lucky to secure a position with BCF Technology as an IT support engineer. I have no doubt that taking this course had a lot to do with their decision.
Throughout my involvement with Pitman Training I received nothing but encouragement from all the staff and fellow students, which certainly made learning easier and more enjoyable. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Pitman Training to anyone that asked and will be using them for any future training I may need to undergo.”
MM – IT Technical
The course was invaluable in helping me to work in the publishing industry and my two employers have been very impressed by the diploma.
R J – Publishing
Excellent trainer. Knowledgeable with a very pleasant and helpful manner.
Julie – Manager – Outlook
Everything needed was provided. Work booklets, pad, pen and pencil were all good quality.
Louise – PA – Speedwriting
“When I met you back in February 2014 my mental state was at a low ebb. After our chat you gave me hope within myself!
When I realised what I was about to undertake, trepidation set in. Well, five months later I achieved my goal attaining a Diploma in Administration Assistant. This is such an huge achievement for me, being the first actual qualification I’ve attained. So a huge pat on the back for me!!!!
What can I say about Pitman Training, Edinburgh, simply first class! Your supervisors are a great bunch, nothing was too much trouble. Even when it came to asking what potentially could be a ‘stupid’ question, they always treated you with respect. I certainly asked a few ‘stupid’ questions! Their patience and understanding was first class, knowing that some of us weren’t on the same level with computer programmes as they were.
The courses are well set out with books and audio to help you along. The audio and on screen items are clear and concise, keeping it both plain and simple.
After five months my confidence is returning and that can only be a good thing for my future.
I’ve managed to secure a job with Edinburgh City Council and If there ever becomes a need to learn further subjects, you’ll be the first people I’ll contact.
Many thanks for all the help I’ve had over the past five months, so much appreciated.”
IS – Administration Assistant Diploma
“I studied the Executive PA Diploma with Pitman. I started studying it in January 2013, it was a great way to start the new year.
Before training I was working in a pub. Having graduated from Glasgow University with an English degree, I found it very difficult to get a job and to know what jobs to apply for. I began working in a hotel for three years before I realised no matter how good I was at my job or how many shifts I had done, there was no room for growth.
Training really helped me, it helped me get some focus and direction and it was a great way to learn new skills. It allowed me to get up to speed with all the Microsoft packages and to get back into the way of using computing skills. It also allowed me to broaden my job search as I now had skills I didn’t have before and skills that companies were looking for.
I now work at St Margaret of Scotland Hospice, which I am really enjoying, where I have been employed as a Receptionist and Medical Secretary.
I really enjoyed my Pitman course, all the staff were very friendly and always willing to help out with any problems. I definitely feel if I hadn’t done the Pitman course I would have struggled for even longer to find a job.”
LN – Executive PA Diploma
‘’Just to thank you again for the excellent course. It was at just the right level and I really appreciated being able to attend without having done the previous one.Too many courses insist on a progression through levels with certificates rather than accepting experience. Callum presented the course at a very good pace giving plenty of time for questions.Definitely the best computing related course I have attended!’’
Excel level 2 C M——-National Trainer
“The training and facilities were both excellent.Callum was both patient and understanding to my level of knowledge.The course has certainly benefited me and in turn, my work.”
Excel Level 2 Lesley Allan——Sales Coordinator—–George Wimpey
The trainer was excellent and took time to make sure we all understood what we were doing.
Louise – Commercial Manager – Word
Excellent! I thoroughly enjoyed the 2 days and found Marion amazing at talking through everything.
Sarah – Office Manager – Exacutive PA Seminar
If it wasn’t for my training at Pitman Training I would not have been qualified for the job, but because of the Legal Secretarial course, I now have all the skills to be able to carry out my duties. I had been out of work for some time and the course also gave me a the confidence to go out there and find a job that I enjoy and have the hours that fit in with my daughter’s schooling.
N G – Legal Secretary
First time being in Marion’s course and was an excellent experience, I need more!
Linda – Centre Manager – Conflict Management
“Excellent! Extremely helpful and reassuring, thank you so much for this course!I now feel much more confident and know how to improve my minutes taking techniques.”
Adeline Amar—–Scottish National Gallery of Modern art
After having completed the Secretarial Diploma, I have managed to get a job at the Royal Bank of Scotland. I would like to thank you for the fantastic training I have had, and have recommended Pitman Training to several people.
S W – Secretary
“I studied the Microsoft Fast Track Diploma. I had been working in a beauty salon for 5 years – I was a therapist and in January I gave up treatments and became the full time receptionist. I really wanted a Monday – Friday receptionist role in an office but because I didn’t have much IT experience I knew that I would find the job search difficult.
The Microsoft training gave me the skills that employers were looking for and I found that once I had the qualification on my CV I started getting selected for interviews. As well as learning new skills the course also helped to just refresh my memory on some things that I could already do.
I am now working in a new job which is the Monday – Friday role I wanted. My job title is Customer Service Assistant. This is a Front of House role which involves a lot of meeting and greeting and looking after all of the tenants in the building who we provide serviced offices for.
I enjoyed the training as it felt very relaxed and I liked that I could go at my own pace. I am so happy that I got this qualification for myself. I really believe that without my qualification I would be stuck in a job that I really wasn’t happy in for many more years!
Thank you Pitman training!”
JS – Fast Track Diploma
I believe that the only reason I was granted an interview let alone being offered this position, is because I had enrolled for your course at Pitman Training, Edinburgh.
F C – Medical Secretary
“I left school in 2010 with 3 A-Levels and the opportunity to study at a top university. After a year working in retail alongside unfortunate periods of ill-health stemming from a medical condition that I was born with, I decided that university just wouldn’t suit me. The decision to ‘skip’ the university step lead me to Pitman Training.
I studied for the Executive PA Diploma, starting in September 2011 and completing by April 2012. My electives were Marketing, PR and Advertising. I studied Teeline shorthand and attended the Executive PA seminar.
Following completion of the Executive PA Diploma, I was immediately signed to Office Angels’ temp books and quickly became their most requested temps. I worked for a variety of organisations including law firms, wealth management firms, business centres, health centres and accountancy bodies. I even did a bit of events work for music gigs which was great fun. My last assignment with Office Angels was an Administrator/PA position at the Institute of Chartered Accountants (ICAS). After three months I was offered a full-time, permanent position.
I was an Administrator/PA at ICAS for 15 months and I used all of my Pitman skills on a daily basis. I have now just started a new job as Secretary to the Edinburgh Residential sales team at Knight Frank, a global organisation which presents huge opportunities for my career going forwards. I see myself working for Knight Frank for many years to come.
Without my qualification and skills gained through the Executive PA Diploma I wouldn’t be in the position that I am today. The staff at York Place were incredibly kind and helpful and made the training environment a very happy one. The flexible approach to study proved invaluable especially during periods of ill health. I am pleased to say that I am happy, healthy and loving living in Edinburgh and working full-time – something we never thought would be possible a couple of years ago.
I would recommend the Executive PA Diploma to absolutely anybody. Not only do you learn many new computer skills – even as a fairly ‘tecchy’ person – but you actually learn a lot about yourself and where your strengths/weaknesses lie. I found the Executive PA Seminar particularly helpful as it gave me a real insight into the life of a high-level PA. My decision not to go to university was definitely not an easy one and it was daunting at first but I’m so pleased with where my career is at now. I’m very fortunate to have a full-time, permanent job in the current market when so many of my friends are struggling to find a job after 3 years at university.”
AL – Executive PA Diploma
I found learning at Pitman Training was enjoyable, which makes all the difference. It was probably one of the best decisions I have made in the last decade.
S E
I am really enjoying the challenge of my new career and appreciate all that Pitman Training did to make it possible.
J M – Medical Secretary
“When I started my Executive PA Diploma last September I was quite unsure what direction my career was going in, I guess you may hear this fairly often, however as the course progressed and my confidence increased I felt ready to look for a PA Executive job. In January I was very successful to be offered the role PA to the Senior Dental Advisor at Practitioner Services (part of the NHS) which I believe my Pitman training played a pivotal part and gave the company confidence to employee me.
I have now completed my three month contract at Practitioner Services, so again I had to think about the direction my career would go. So, I am delighted to let you know that I have been offered a permanent job as a Training Co-ordinator, taking over all the logistics and administration associated with the training events and seminars that the Company delivers and I will be working directly with the Managing Director.
Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your training administration team without whom none of this would have happened.”
LF – Executive PA Diploma
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!
Sarah-Louise – Business Development Executive – Influencing Skills
The small group to tutor ratio was very helpful. It was at a great location, lunch was a treat, the training was well-paced and clear. The trainer was very patient, not patronising (a relief) and very helpful.
