Building Skills While Working Full-Time

Grace Cooke was working as a retail supervisor and wanted to challenge herself. She chose the Executive Assistant Diploma at Pitman Training Edinburgh because of its reputation for secretarial courses and because it covered a lot of key skills she wanted to learn.

Balancing a full-time job with study seemed difficult at first, but online learning gave Grace the flexibility she needed. Her Learning Coach was available around the clock, providing guidance that helped her achieve a distinction.

“I was able to complete everything alongside my full-time job,” Grace says. “They were on hand 24/7 and played a massive part in my distinction.”

The results speak for themselves. Grace received two promotions while completing her diploma, and now she can apply for Executive Assistant roles. “I’ve learned skills that I will never forget,” she says.

Her advice for others considering training: “Go for it!”
