Pitman Training has reignited my interest in learning that had gone stale since finishing college. Due to working full-time the course was perfect to do in my own time with Pitman giving support by email and in person if I needed it. I would highly recommend the course and the company. Thanks for all your help

In January, I decided to make a change to my life and I started the Medical Secretary Diploma course with Pitman Training Waterford. To date, I have found the course very good and thorough. I do most of the training in the facility. This is a lovely, quiet area with a canteen, all very clean and well looked after. The team there are so friendly and really helpful, I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Best move I’ve made in a long time!!
