Student Success Stories

Pitman Training was a game-changer for me. I wanted to level up with Microsoft programs and have a better understanding of the legal secretary role. The courses were easy to follow, and I got quick results. Pitman Training’s flexible learning approach was a huge plus, and having a Learning Coach was awesome; they gave me great advice! Now, I’ve got top-notch Microsoft and admin skills for my CV, boosting my career confidence. Pitman Training? I’d recommend it in a heartbeat!

Feedback for Pitman Training Centre:

Many thanks to Hirut Gebremariam , Chloe Howe & Shantel Jebbison for their consistent, friendly, positive attitude and kind help whenever I requested it.

Many years ago I had studied at Pitman Training Centre and passed with Distinctions.

This time I only needed to brush up on certain Modules. I studied at the Centre and also online. I very much appreciated Zoe Niven’s confirmation of my scores achieved.

I found the free Webinars mostly with Amy Wesson informative, helpful and interesting.

I was happy to upskill in Microsoft Word at Pitman Training Centre mainly because everyone made my stay a pleasant experience.
Alice Mullinger delivered an exceptionally insightful and engaging workshop on Building Professional Confidence. The course was highly informative, presenting practical strategies and fostering valuable discussions that resonated deeply. One of the key takeaways for me was learning more about imposter syndrome—how prevalent it is, and how it can actually be a natural sign of progress when stepping outside one's comfort zone. As a male participant, I found that simply discussing these significant challenges—challenges we all encounter—had a genuine power and lasting impact. Alice cultivated an open and supportive environment that encouraged reflection and growth. I wholeheartedly recommend this workshop to anyone seeking to build confidence and navigate professional challenges with greater self-assurance.
Alice Mullinger was an exceptional trainer! She answered all my questions with clarity and made even the most complicated concepts easy to understand. Her ability to explain things in simple, straightforward language made the entire training experience enjoyable and stress-free. Highly recommend her!
I have had an incredibly positive experience with Pitman Training, specifically with Olga in the Holborn centre. She was always so prompt and efficient when replying to my (many) queries and was incredibly encouraging and supportive during my exams, both virtual and within the training centre. Always calm and reassuring, with a very personable yet professional approach - I am extremely grateful to Olga for all that she did in order to help me achieve my diploma.
