Chris Day
My 4th and final exam and despite an unavoidable delay everything was kept calm with constant updates from the receptionist. The facility allows individuals enough privacy and quietness to be able to focus on the tasks. Location and parking are perfect as are the staff. Many thanks

debbie
I would highly recommend Pitman training after sitting my exam with them . Mike was incredibly helpful from replying to my first email promptly , to his professionalism and helpfulness on the day . It made a huge difference to go through a stressful exam , with words and of support and kindness from both Mike and the very nice gentleman on the day ( sorry I did not get his name ) . The exam room was also very spacious and comfortable in a lovely setting at the Elsie Whiteley centre . I will return to Pitman training for my next exam and I cannot recommend this company more highly . Fabulous , thank you !
Sarah King
Never used the test centre before but would 100% recommend and will use for future exams.
Free parking available. Easy to access. Good building and staff were down to earth, helpful and friendly.
Was able to chat to staff before and after the exam. Made it feel less formal even though full exam conditions were met and adhered to whilst in process.
Much more inviting than other centre. 100% recommend.
Ishak & Hannah
Kind and Helpful staff. Very nice experience
R Doyle
A fantastic exam centre. I was really nervous having not sat an exam in 20+ years and the staff were extremely helpful and really friendly which was just what was needed. They offered words of wisdom and were really approachable.

The centre was easy to find and ample free parking was a real bonus so close to the city centre.

I've been sitting my AAT exams here and have always had a warm friendly welcome, and been put at ease by the invigilators. Highly recommend if you're taking AAT exams in the Halifax area.

My first time attending an exam at Pitman training Leeds and they were superb. Everyone I met was very professional, very friendly and flexible. I will certainly use them again. Absolutely recommend them.
Tinker Bell
I have been to my 3rd AAT exam with Putman Training and I always find it very easy, the staff are really helpful and I'd would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to book an exam with them! Lovely little café there where you can pick up some nice lunch and a drink after exam.
layla bridges
I’ve been there a few times to sit exams, I found the staff to be incredibly kind and friendly. I am often very nervous when going into new buildings and worry about where I need to go and if I’m in the right room (it doesn’t help when your also about to sit an exam lol) but the staff there were happy to help, they where very clear and helpful on directions (I even received an email before hand with a detailed explanation of where the building is located). I found them very approachable and lovely to talk to which made me a lot less stressed going into the exam room!
kirstie shaw
Easy parking and friendly staff
James Falkingham
I attended the Pitman Training centre at Elsie Whiteley Innovation Centre for an exam. Fantastic place with secure parking. The receptionist was friendly and helpful upon arrival. The staff invigilating were also friendly, knowledgeable and even walked me out of the building after the exam as it is a bit of a maze inside! I look forward to booking and attending future exams here.
Iwona Szczecina

Roxanne Domian
Pitman Training Leeds was very proffessional when it comes to answering all my queries regarding MO-201 excel exam, they were very patient with me having to reschedule my exams due to railway strikes. I ended up having to cancell unfortunately, but there was absolutely no problem with requesting he refund. Very good customer service! Thank you
A pity I couldn't actually take the exam with them on this occasion, but I will definitely consider that in the future and would recommend them to friends.
