Student Testimonials

Real stories from students and graduates. See How we’ve helped transform careers and lives.

The flexibility and well-organised study materials made learning at Pitman Edinburgh a great experience. The team and Learning Coaches were always helpful, and the Certificate in Accounting AAT Level 2 was the best option for my future plans. Don’t wait any longer, just start!

Hannah Papaj

Accounting – AAT Level 2 Student

I chose Pitman Training for the flexibility of online learning and the support from the instructors. The experience was excellent – I could learn at my own pace with no pressure, and my Learning Coach was amazing. Studying Cybersecurity has really boosted my confidence in my skills. I’d recommend Pitman to anyone looking to upskill.
