About This Award

If you know the subjects you want to study but haven’t quite been able to find the perfect fit for you, this award will give you the control and flexibility you’re looking for. You can select courses from across our range to gain the specific skills you’re after.

Create Your Own Learning Path

The courses don’t have to be chosen from the same subject category so, you could be studying a social media course, move on to web design training, bookkeeping, or whatever you need.

It may just be that you want to focus in one specialist area. Whatever works for you, this award can fit the bill. The total learning hours must reach 30 hours minimum, which means you’ll gain 30 CPD points for your learning record, or you can take any three courses.

On successful completion of your training you’ll receive a prestigious Pitman Training certificate to validate your skills.
