“I chose the training because that I knew that I was in dire need of updating my skills. After searching on the Internet I became aware of Pitman Training and then on speaking to the Dumfries Pitman Training Centre I chose Pitman because the courses on offer fitted my need. Following the advice given by the Centre I actually pursued a different course to what I originally thought that I needed. Pitman offered flexibility which was crucial to me – I could choose when I wanted to attend the sessions and to work at my own pace.
The tutor support was invaluable when I needed it and the staff overall at the Centre were friendly and helpful.”

‘’Both Carol & Liz attended the Professional Receptionist Training course on Friday 31st January in Edinburgh held by Pitman Training. Both enjoyed the course and thought it was beneficial and relevant to their place of employment.
Since the course they both feel more confident and understand a lot more about what is required of a Receptionist.’’

Professional Receptionist

Organisations Testimonials, Professional Receptionist

“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!”
