About Us
Sophie
Sophie has been with Pitman Training for five years in July and that time has gone incredibly quickly! Before she started as the Centre manager, Sophie was an Administrator, so she understands what people wanting to get into that profession need to succeed.
Sophie has completed all of the Pitman Microsoft Office packages (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access and Outlook) she has also taken the Book-keeping course and part of Sage, so if you need to find out any more about these particular courses and what to expect, Sophie will be more than willing to tell you.
Dave
Dave came to Pitman Training over a year ago, going straight into the Senior Training Supervisor role from a managerial position in a local betting shop. Dave is the man to talk to about Microsoft Word and PowerPoint.
Sarah
Working for Pitman Training was Sarah’s first ever job and has been here for 5 years now. She studied the Pitman Business IT diploma with Web Design and since then has completed more courses and updated her knowledge to the 2007 version. Sarah’s specialist subject is Excel, although she is great with most of Microsoft Office packages.
Jon
Jon has been with the company for about 4 months and has enjoyed it thoroughly so far. Before starting with Pitman Training, Jon completed his ECDL Extra to boost and update his qualifications, he also completed a 6 week period of Office/ Admin work experience set by the job centre. Jon has not yet completed a Pitman Training course but is interested in a couple of them, including Book Keeping and will pursue this interest further. Jon would say that his specialist subject at Pitman Training is setting up tests and issuing books although he hopes to learn much more.
Ollie
Ollie has been with Pitman Training for only a few months but before coming to us as an apprentice, he was a Trainee Contacts Manager. At the moment Ollie is taking the Pitman sage course and hopes to do more so that he can become more confident in helping the students through their courses.
