Pitman Success Stories

Amy really enjoyed learning with Pitman Training. She found all the staff supportive and the learning structure was flexible to fit in with her other commitments.

Graduate Claire originally contacted Pitman Training Plymouth in October 2009. “At that time”, Claire explains, “I had just come back to Plymouth and found it really hard to get a job even with my degree...”

After 15 years as a full-time Mum to two daughters I decided it was time to go back to work in accounting, which seemed preferable to becoming a full-time chauffeur service for teenage girls! But how? It looked like a daunting task....

Like many mums Annabel wanted training she could fit around her family commitments, which would also allow her to update her skills and increase her after 6 years of brining up children.

Lisa always felt she could achieve much more and longed for a career within an office environment. Lisa decided to improve her skills, so she would have something to offer future employers.

Zhenya wanted a change and was considering accounting so she approached Pitman Training and after a consultation with a Course Advisor signed up for the Pitman Training Accounting Technician Diploma.

Olivia came to study with us after being made redundant by her retail employer. She wanted to start a new career in office administration so studied our Introduction to Office Skills Diploma.

This course was very important for my career development, not least because I learned to use Microsoft Office and to type faster.

Joanne first completed the Medical Secretary Introductory course before moving on to complete the diploma, passing with distinction.
