Pitman Training Glasgow Reviews

The staff and director are lovely if I do any further qualifications I will definitely choose them over other centres
I was made to feel really welcomed by Paige and the rest of the team when I went in for an exam. As test centres go they provides a lovely atmosphere.
It is always a pleasure taking exams with here, professional and friendly environment. It is always nice to see someone enjoying what she does. The lady at reception was a peoples person.
Nice, clean and bright test center to take your exam in. Staff is professional and reassuring. Water fountain is available but you're not able to have water with you at the PC.
Excellent exam centre, professional welcoming staff, clean and calm environment, super fast computers and outstanding service from start to finish.
Visited Pitman in partnership with my company, Avenue Recruitment to present skills recruiters look for, interview tips and to inform and help the students of Recruitment as a whole. All the students spoke highly of Pitman and Caroline Meikle especially! Providing great opportunities to assist in career development and also interpersonal skills. Both the Glasgow and Edinburgh offices are great, clean, friendly environment and all the staff are a credit to the company. Would definitely recommend completing new or further education/development through Pitman Training!
Great centre. The staff are very friendly and put you at ease before taking an exam. Good facilities, toilets, water fountain etc.
I’ve been working with the team at Pitman Glasgow for the last couple of years and have always found them excellent to deal with. Communication is clear, the process is straightforward, and they consistently provide a professional and supportive environment for candidates. Highly recommend.
