From Stratford to New York: Mohi’s Office Manager Diploma Success Story

Pitman Training Gave Me the Confidence to Change Direction

When Mohi enrolled on the Office Manager Diploma at Pitman Training Stratford, she was looking for a way to build on her existing experience and strengthen the skills needed to progress her career.

Today, she is living and working in New York for a leading insurance company and has been recognised as a Highly Commended Student of the Year. Her journey demonstrates how vocational training, determination and continuous learning can open doors to exciting career opportunities around the world.

Building on Existing Experience

Before starting her training, Mohi already had a strong administrative background. She had worked in office management roles and previously supported teams within the NHS in an administrative capacity.

Wanting to formalise her knowledge and enhance her professional skills, she chose the Office Manager Diploma.

“I have a background as an Office Manager and previously worked for the NHS in an administrative role. I felt the diploma was a great way to bring those skills together and continue developing professionally.”

Why Pitman Training?

When researching training providers, Mohi wanted a trusted organisation with a proven track record of helping people develop practical workplace skills.

“I chose Pitman Training because of its track record and global reputation for vocational training. I was confident that I would gain the skills I needed to further my career.”

Studying at Pitman Training Stratford gave her access to flexible learning and dedicated support throughout her programme, allowing her to develop skills that would benefit both her studies and her professional life.

Gaining Practical Skills for the Workplace

One of the most valuable aspects of the programme was the opportunity to strengthen her technical skills, particularly in Microsoft Office applications.

“The training helped me gain all the necessary skills to complete my programme and excel in my role. In particular, Microsoft Excel and the technical skills needed for office management. Once I gained those skills, I was able to thrive.”

The knowledge she developed through the Office Manager Diploma wasn’t just useful for passing assessments. It had an immediate impact on her day-to-day work, helping her become more confident and effective in her role.

“The skills I gained helped me not only in my exams but also in my work. I gained practical skills that I continue to use professionally.”

A Journey That Led to New York

Shortly after completing her training, Mohi’s life took an exciting turn when her husband relocated to New York for work.

While preparing for the move, she continued investing in her own professional development. During the recruitment process for a new position, she focused on developing the exact skills employers were looking for.

“I was going through the interview process while studying. I made sure to develop the skills they needed and bring those skills into my new role.”

Her determination paid off, helping her secure an opportunity and begin a new chapter of her career in New York.

Highly Commended Student of the Year

Mohi’s dedication to her studies was recognised when she received the Highly Commended Student of the Year award.

“I feel extremely honoured and very grateful to receive this award. I couldn’t be more grateful for the skills I gained at Pitman Training.”

For Mohi, the award represents not only academic achievement but also the confidence, knowledge and opportunities that came from investing in her future.

Looking Ahead

Although she has already achieved significant career success, Mohi believes learning never stops.

“Should I need to enhance any other skills or develop further in the future, I would definitely consider Pitman Training again.”
