Been sitting all my AAT exams over the years at this center and had zero issues. Olu and Lauryn are super nice, quick to answer any questions via email. Put me to ease before and after the exam. Also got a wee candy after I've finished my exam. What a thoughtful treat! Many thanks and see you next time, for another exam 🙂

I had a really positive experience at Pitman Training in Edinburgh when I went in to complete a test. The staff were professional, welcoming, and made me feel completely at ease from the moment I arrived. They explained everything clearly and ensured the whole process ran smoothly, which really helped reduce any nerves. The environment was calm, well-organised, and ideal for focusing, which made a big difference during the test. Everything was set up efficiently, and I felt well-supported throughout. Overall, a very well-run centre with a friendly and supportive team. I’d definitely recommend Pitman Training Edinburgh to anyone looking for a comfortable and professional place to complete training or assessments.

Accounting – AAT Level 2 Student

I chose Pitman Training for the flexibility of online learning and the support from the instructors. The experience was excellent – I could learn at my own pace with no pressure, and my Learning Coach was amazing. Studying Cybersecurity has really boosted my confidence in my skills. I’d recommend Pitman to anyone looking to upskill.
