Robert Coomber
Before joining the course I was an absolute beginner at computers. Without the help of especially Aleks and the rest of the team like Isatou, Amandeep or Katie I wouldn't not be able to get it done. If you are thinking of joining, this is the place!
Samina Yusuf
I joined for a 6 weeks course and had an amazing experience. I was nervious before coming but the team here all made me feel welcome and comfortable. Reccomend it. Aleks, Katie, Isatou and Amandeep were amazing!
J Rich
I joined Pitman Manchester after being referred by my work coach at the job centre, I was expecting that I would be redoing my CV so that it was updated and improved, but I was impressed with the amount of additional topics I covered with the assistance of my tutor Aleks, as well as the rest of the staff there. The whole experience has been very good for myself. I have gained new Skills, and also improved existing ones, thanks to the Pitman training program. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to improve or learn new skills and understanding.
Adesuwa Odia

Jacqueline Penny
I have complete a Digital Skills programme at Pitman Training and found the experience was very good. Staff, especially Alex, are knowledgeable and helpful and dealt with questions really well when I needed to ask about the modules. I am now studying the Sage50 Account s course, thank you Pitman for the opportunity.
Tony Filer (Broadcaster)
I can't praise Pitman enough for the ability AND confidence they've instilled in me when I had to 're-learn' how to embrace the job-searching market – a daunting task for a, now, 64 year old! As well as familiarising me with ALL the modern digital and other technological advances, they taught interview techniques and, most importantly, confidence in utilising them … and all within a few short weeks. Thank you to ALL the learning coaches, under the watchful eye of the wonderful Clair. Thank you!❤️

I especially want to say a huge thank you to Katie, who has been such a patient and kind tutor. Always looking out for each and every one of her students and listening to what they have to say.
Overall, during my time here I never felt more motivated to succeed with my goals and future plans. I’m so grateful for the time I have spent here. Thank you to every member of the team!! 💫

R A
It was really lovely getting to know Alex, Adam ,Katie ,Amandeep and Isatu They created such a welcoming and supportive environment from the start which made it easy to talk and feel comfortable Every conversation felt genuine and you could tell they actually cared about us not just the work.

They were always willing to help no matter the question and they took the time to explain things in a way that made sense without making anyone feel rushed or judged That kind of support makes a big difference when you are learning.

Overall they made the whole experience feel positive comfortable and motivating I really appreciate everything they did and it would not have been the same without them.
Joanne E Lewis
Excellent experience. Been here twice now for AAT exams and all staff are very friendly and make you feel at ease. I will certainly be back for my next exam and I highly recommend.
