Pitman Training Southend Reviews

The place easy to find. A warm welcome what make you feel safe and comfortable!
I have been taking online Excel lessons with Pitman Training, and Binayak has always been very helpful whenever i've had questions. Today, i sat my exam at the centre, and it was a really pleasant experience, the environment was quiet and comfortable and Binayak was very welcoming and friendly when i arrived.
Great test centre, have done all of my Level 3 & 4 exams here.
I visited the academy to sit an exam. The rooms was to my standards, the seats comfortable, and computers were on full speed, which made my exam very smooth. The staff was also kind and accommodating.
I arrived rather early to the building. However, after phoning and explaining I was here, Binayak kindly allowed me to go in and wait in the warm until they arrived.

After a short wait, he came to find me, gave me a warm welcome and escorted me up to the training rooms. He thoroughly explained where everything was, including the bathrooms and when we’d begin.

Binayak was extremely helpful in providing me with what I needed and guided me through getting my exam onto the computer. It was my first exam for my qualification and I have to say the experience made a daunting exam day, feel extremely relaxing. I was made to feel at such ease.

Thank you very much. I will certainly be coming here for my next exam 😊!

I recently had my first exam experience at this centre,and it exceeded my expectations. The location is conveniently just a few minutes drive away, and it's easy to locate. One of the perks of taking the exam on a Saturday was the abundance of available parking spaces, which was a definite plus. The examination rooms were impeccably clean, and the staff was both friendly and professional throughout my visit. I'm certainly planning to use this centre again for my future exams.
