Colin - ReAct funding teaches dinosaur new tricks

Course: Microsoft Office Certificate

Colin was made redundant after a long career with Social Service and came to Pitman Training Swansea a self-acclaimed “dinosaur when it comes to computers”

Colin is semi-retired but realised that in order to get a part-time job and keep up to date with the modern way of working, he would need up to date skills and qualifications.

Colin said “I was not at all confident when starting the course and was worried that, having given up on an ECDL course previously, I would struggle to complete the course.

I need not have worried as all the staff at Pitman Training Swansea were extremely supportive and helped me to gain confidence in the new skills I was learning.  I cannot tell you how happy I was to not only pass the course but gain Distinctions in PowerPoint and Outlook.

I am looking forward to returning for the Christmas party!”
