Office & Secretarial Success Stories

After studying her ‘Professional Executive PA with Level 2 AAT Qualification’ with Pitman Training, Katie was snapped up due to her extensive skillset and engaging personality.

"After moving to the UK I have found that as an accountant with overseas work experience it is not easy to join the finance team in this Competitive labour market."

"The way in which the Executive PA Diploma was set out was key to working full-time because not only did it enable me to complete each module, I could also take it at my own pace."

While training at Pitman, I was recommended by Amy and Caroline to a prospective employer and was able to secure a job.

"I could study from home, at my own pace on my days off and still have the support from Training Coaches whenever I need it."

"I had been working as an assistant in a pharmacy since leaving school and was conscious that time was passing by, but when you’re working full time, how do you break out?"

Training with Pitman Training helped me a lot when looking and securing a job. The position I am in now did not ask for any secretary qualification, however, without my training I would not have had the confidence when starting my new position.

I believe enrolling at was the best investment I have ever made. After doing the course for a while it gave me the confidence to look for a new job in the medical field.

"I enquired at the Croydon Pitman Training centre back in September, knowing that I did not want to go to University because I don’t enjoy the classroom environment and do not like course-work. I did however know that I wanted to gain my independence, self motivation and confidence and to earn a salary and felt that being a PA would be ideal."
