Casey’s Journey to Success: November’s Student of the Month
We are proud to announce Casey Luther as November’s Student of the Month at Pitman Training, Carlow/Kilkenny!
I’m Casey and I’m currently working as a stock consultant with Hospitality Plus. I have been a student with Pitman Training since September 2023 when I decided to start an Administrative Assistant course. I decided to choose this course as my basic knowledge when it came to computers and programs such as Word and Excel etc. were quite poor. It was never something that I had to use on a day-to-day basis. Shortly after commencing the course, I had the opportunity to switch to my current job which requires me to use Excel and Outlook daily.
One achievement I’ve had since commencing my course with Pitman Training is I had to do a presentation in front of a group of people and I got to use the new skills that I learned for PowerPoint. I received a few comments from my presentation as being very interactive and engaging with all the slides having some sort of special feature on them. It was my first time creating a presentation from scratch and I was very happy with the outcome and the lovely comments people made about it.

Student Testimonials
A big thank you to all the girls in the centre for all their help and support over the last year. Their guidance and reassurance has helped motivate me even more to do anything in terms of education. The Bookkeeping Diploma has been such a beneficial course in terms of modules within the course and the job prospects afterwards. The teaching methods and course books allowed me to study and learn in a way that felt right for me. As a result, I have started a new job doing what I love and know that with Pitman I can go even further. Thanks for all the support and guidance, ladies, you are all truly amazing.
