Feedback for Pitman Training Centre:

Many thanks to Hirut Gebremariam , Chloe Howe & Shantel Jebbison for their consistent, friendly, positive attitude and kind help whenever I requested it.

Many years ago I had studied at Pitman Training Centre and passed with Distinctions.

This time I only needed to brush up on certain Modules. I studied at the Centre and also online. I very much appreciated Zoe Niven’s confirmation of my scores achieved.

I found the free Webinars mostly with Amy Wesson informative, helpful and interesting.

I was happy to upskill in Microsoft Word at Pitman Training Centre mainly because everyone made my stay a pleasant experience.
Mario Holbrook-Yalias
Alice Mullinger delivered an exceptionally insightful and engaging workshop on Building Professional Confidence. The course was highly informative, presenting practical strategies and fostering valuable discussions that resonated deeply. One of the key takeaways for me was learning more about imposter syndrome—how prevalent it is, and how it can actually be a natural sign of progress when stepping outside one's comfort zone. As a male participant, I found that simply discussing these significant challenges—challenges we all encounter—had a genuine power and lasting impact. Alice cultivated an open and supportive environment that encouraged reflection and growth. I wholeheartedly recommend this workshop to anyone seeking to build confidence and navigate professional challenges with greater self-assurance.
Orla O'Brien
Alice Mullinger was an exceptional trainer! She answered all my questions with clarity and made even the most complicated concepts easy to understand. Her ability to explain things in simple, straightforward language made the entire training experience enjoyable and stress-free. Highly recommend her!
Sarah Fitzsimmons
I have had an incredibly positive experience with Pitman Training, specifically with Olga in the Holborn centre. She was always so prompt and efficient when replying to my (many) queries and was incredibly encouraging and supportive during my exams, both virtual and within the training centre. Always calm and reassuring, with a very personable yet professional approach – I am extremely grateful to Olga for all that she did in order to help me achieve my diploma.
Nill Armestrong
"She is an enthusiastic and knowledgeable teacher, full of confidence and friendliness. I wholeheartedly recommend her for any training course."
Alistair King
The whole learning journey was smooth and professional. The learner coach is always on hand to provide any further support/guidance you may need. The excel course was very informative with actual videos going through each learning points and very useful student guides which where easy to follow.
Margaret Hamilton-Lane
I've sat 18 exams here, Olga was always super helpful and really compassionate. Sitting exams here was always straightforward.
Sholpan Urazaeva
This is an excellent course if you are looking for continued professional development or would like to acquire a new skill set.
I enjoyed the course overall: liked the way it is structured, found supporting materials quite helpful and varied. Everything is presented in a clear and easy to work out format.
The only suggestion in terms of improvement would be design of the Student Lab, which is a bit limited in terms of layout/space (makes it a bit hard to work with bigger files, especially spreadsheets in Excel). Other than this, the content is informative, well-structured and nicely presented.
I would also like to thank your course advisors, in particular Olga from Pitman Training London & West for her professional manner, prompt responses over the phone, in writing and in person, which contributes to a very supportive learning environment.
I would highly recommend Medical Admin Course at Pitman’s.
Bhakti Varsani
Olga was very kind and helpful. Thanks 😊
Tiziana Quattrini
I Have just completed the Microsoft Office Diploma course at Pitman Training Holborn. I knew it was expensive when I enrolled, but I knew also the result would have been certain. The good reputation of this centre has been always well known in the London business world.

Who other can help you to get such an insight at your available time, at your pace and with the support you need at the right time? Anita and Olga are fantastic in making a nice atmosphere and giving support.
“We are here to help, do not hesitate to ask” is their motto.
Just ask! When you will be here, or at home behind your screen, or on the phone with them. They are so keen to help you!

I have being working quite hard during this months but I will keep a nice memory of my study at Pitman Holborn and I am sure I have reached the confidence to face new jobs opportunities.
Grace George
I am studying Office Procedures at Pitman Training Holborn. I needed to enhance and update my studies after 6 years of leaving University.I am half way to finishing my course, I feel like I have the practical skills to begin a successful career working for an organisation or working for myself. I am enjoying every aspect of the course from the excellent course content to the friendly and knowledgeable trainers. The ability to study in my own time at my own pace is a massive plus. The trainers are willing to assist me with everything whether it is difficulties with the course, or help in finding work. I would recommend Pitman Training to friends and anyone who is looking to update their career.
Vidhya Sriram
I have been studying at Pitman Training, Holborn for the past year, and that is the best decision i ever made to kick start with my career after a break from my profession. My whole experience with them has been upto high standards in terms of course design, centre infrastructure and with knowledgeable staffs. I also managed to find a job with the good knowledge I gained through the courses, so that's the confidence you gain as you finish each course.
I would highly recommend if you're looking to start your career from not knowing nothing or update your skills while having a profession.
Alessandra Viola
I had a good experience with the school, the stuff is very polite and helpful.
I am just a bit disappointed as the cost is high compared on what the program offer.
Michele Jordan
I have been studying with Pitman for 8 months. The centre staff have been incredibly patient with me, answered all my queries in a timely manner and have been very helpful and knowledgeable. I had great difficulty with the transition from campus to canvas. There were a lot of differences that were not highlighted that I had to feedback, I did feel like a guinea pig. Fortunately I had to only complete one Microsoft package on the new platform. Overall I am enjoying the experience and am looking forward to achieving my diploma next year.
