The Team and Our Centre

The training is carried out in a relaxed environment which resembles a modern open-plan office.

The centre has a kitchen equipped with a fridge, a hot drinks vending machine and a chilled filtered drinking water dispenser. There is also a student common room for relaxation in between study sessions.

We operate a “learner-centred environment”, which places the individual at the core of the learning process. Everything is geared towards satisfying the needs of the learner, whether gaining the skills and qualifications for a career move or learning how to use the internet and email to shop online or keep in touch with relatives.

Pitman Training is well-known to employers for providing very practical skills for the workplace. A Pitman qualification will add a lot of value to your CV and will impress your future employer.

Pitman Training’s unique method of study allows learners to progress at their own pace with a virtual audio-based tutor in their ears guiding them through every step of the course and with one-to-one support and guidance available from qualified tutors at all times.

This method of study allows learners the flexibility of starting the course whenever it suits them and choosing study sessions to fit in with their other commitments without being tied to a fixed routine. It can be different days and times every week, whatever suits the learner best. Distance learning is also available, with the examination being taken in the centre at a time convenient to the learner.
