I visited the academy to sit an exam. The rooms was to my standards, the seats comfortable, and computers were on full speed, which made my exam very smooth. The staff was also kind and accommodating.
Lucy Attewell
Great space to work in. Very professional and not scary at all
Jayme-lea Newell
I arrived rather early to the building. However, after phoning and explaining I was here, Binayak kindly allowed me to go in and wait in the warm until they arrived.

After a short wait, he came to find me, gave me a warm welcome and escorted me up to the training rooms. He thoroughly explained where everything was, including the bathrooms and when we’d begin.

Binayak was extremely helpful in providing me with what I needed and guided me through getting my exam onto the computer. It was my first exam for my qualification and I have to say the experience made a daunting exam day, feel extremely relaxing. I was made to feel at such ease.

Thank you very much. I will certainly be coming here for my next exam 😊!

ibrahim ullah
Today was my first time sitting an AAT L4 exam with Pitman Training and I must say the service was top notch! Sufficient parking spaces for those who drive, and the main invigilator Binayak, was very helpful and encouraging. Speaking to him prior to starting the exam gave me a boost of confidence which I needed. So anyone who is currently in their fruitful journey of studying AAT, I would highly recommend sitting your exams with Pitman Training. Throughout my entire AAT studies, they are by far the best test centre I've used!
