Pitman Training Ipswich Reviews

Very happy with my Excel Expert Course with Pitman. Very convenient and easy to follow structure, easy to follow and understand videos, tests and practical exercises to help remember and practice what has been learned. Can be accessed easily from any device.
My experience at Pitman Training has been amazing. The help from the coaches have supported me along the way, which has inspired me to work my hardest.
I am doing the Social Media for Business diploma. It is very well structured and easy to follow. It has explained a lot of aspects that will help me in the future. My tutor is always on hand if I have a problem and is very encouraging! Thank you Pitman!
Just finished the Project+ course to develop my skills in Project mgmt. I can't rate Alice highly enough. I was lucky to have one to one sessions and Alice tailored her teaching to incorporate my current Projects so I found it hugely rewarding!

I highly recommend her especially if one is neuro divergent, like myself. She was super patient, took time to explain things to me in a way I could understand. She acknowledged when breaks were needed and really took time to make sure the relevant parts were really understood before moving on.

I would also like to thank the wider Pitman Team. The course is usually done online but they arranged a face to face course for me as I find this more effective. Furthermore the f2f was scheduled for their Chelmsford office (45mins away) and Zoe managed to organise a change of location to Ipswich.

Top service, impeccable tuition . . . Will see you again in a few months to complete the PM diploma!!

I completed the Excel 2019 Expert course and my learning coach Alice was always on hand if I needed anything, the weekly check-ins were great too.
The course layout was super easy to follow, and the final tests had very clear instructions too.
Excellent company for someone looking to learn the necessary skills to change careers and get into software development, Alice, Emma and Chris were all very helpful anytime I needed any assistance it was given promptly and with a smile. They always put the students needs first and I thoroughly enjoyed studying at the center every week and would absolutely study with them again in the future.
