Reading student Charlotte wins a Medical Secretary role!

Charlotte came to Pitman Training Reading to do a Medical Secretary Diploma, as she had been working in a different environment for fifteen years and during that time found no prospects for development.

Charlotte decided to enrol onto the Medical Secretary Diploma, something she had never done before! She was able to bring her Office skills up to date and learn how to use new Microsoft Office features. She was also able to create a special focus on Medical Word Processing and Terminology.

Within weeks of finishing her Diploma, Charlotte was delighted to be offered a job in a hospice as a Medical Secretary.

When Charlotte went for her interview, she was given an audio transcription task. Because she had studied and gained a certificate in Audio Transcription during her studies, she had no problems meeting the standard. She liked the Medical Secretary Diploma because it includes individual certificates for courses within the Diploma, and each course is of a professional standard, and well-recognised by employers.

“The conversation we had about interview skills and the summary at the end meant I was comfortable and calm about my up and coming interview. The staff were really supportive and it is a professional environment to study in. Coming into the centre helped me keep the pace going and focus”.

We have seen how much you enjoyed your training and we are delighted that the result is an excellent outcome for you. Congratulations Charlotte!
