Patricia Mitchell, ICDL course

Despite having experience as a staff nurse and a Diploma of Higher Education and degree in nursing, Patricia Mitchell took Pitman Training’s ICDL course to gain a basic understanding of IT and ensure she could continue to do her job to a high standard.

“I wanted to gain some confidence and knowledge in using a computer. I chose Pitman as my training provider because they are a well-known training provider, so I knew I could trust them. I certainly wasn’t disappointed. 

“The staff were very patient and encouraging. Initially, I had no confidence in my abilities with a computer and found my lack of progress disheartening. They kept reassuring me to keep going over the course until it eventually became clear, which is what I did. I could not have completed the course without my learning coach. So, I’m massively grateful to them. 

“I went into the training centre to study to ensure I could maximise the support I received from the team. I loved that I had the flexibility to train when I wanted and have gained much more confidence when using a computer. I recommend that anyone looking to develop themselves goes to Pitman Training and grasps the opportunity.”
