“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!!”

“I have completed a number of with Pitman Training since 2007, including ECDL course and the MCSA.

I have always found the staff at the training centre to be very helpful, friendly and supportive, in particular John whose help, advice and technical expertise has been an invaluable resource to me throughout my MCSA.

Prior to doing the course I had very little computer experience and was working as a Stockroom Supervisor but in May this year after completing my second last exam I managed to secure my first full time position in IT as an IT Assistant with a well known Scottish charity.”
