“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.”

“I relocated to Scotland after teaching English abroad for 15 years. Unable to find similar work here, I spent an anxious 12 months as an office temp, eventually gaining a permanent position as an admin assistant at a law firm in Glasgow. I carried out the usual range of tasks – photocopying, filing, distributing faxes. Although happy to have a job and appreciating its positive qualities, I felt held back – both in my own workplace and on the job market as a whole – by my lack of IT and keyboard skills.
One happy day I made an appointment to see Linda Morrison at the Glasgow Pitman Training Centre. Linda understood my frustration and recommended the Diploma in Business Skills, a qualification that combined basic keyboard training with Microsoft Office courses, plus Effective Business Communication and an elective (from a wide range of options, I chose ‘Get Into HR’).
There were eight modules in all and the sessions had to be fitted in around a full-time job and busy family life. Ultimately I took 18 months to complete it all  but felt very proud when I took home my Diploma. I’m still working for the same firm but now run the library and deputise for the Archivist in his absence. My daily work is far more interesting and varied than it once was, and that fact – combined with the high unemployment brought about by the recession – means that I’m not interested in changing jobs in the foreseeable future. Nonetheless, it’s crucial to be flexible in these hard times and to be able to offer additional skills if need be. I don’t regret the time and energy I put into my courses – they’ve given me tremendous self-confidence and a great sense of relief that I’m no longer left behind or marginalised by my lack of knowledge.
I’ve already recommended the Glasgow Pitman Training Centre to a number of friends and am happy to do so again. I’d also like to put on record my thanks to all the staff for their cheerful help and unfailing moral support throughout my training.”
