Excellent course which has proved to be very beneficial in my every day work. The course advisor, Frances, was extremely helpful throughout the course & I highly recommend Pitman Training for anyone thinking about upskilling.
Ive just started my book keeping diploma, Frances is So helpful and very understanding. The premises is quiet and relaxed for study.
After 32 years working in financial services I decided I needed a change , I was very apprehensive about a change in career. I was delighted with my choice to go to Pitman which was recommended to me by a former colleague. I really didn’t know what options were opened to me but having gone through induction with the team in Sligo who were so helpful and professional we went through my strengths , interests and what appealed to me. I am so happy that I have chosen Pitman , the facilities the course content and the one to one with facilitator is the best. I have been made feel so welcomed & it has given me so much confidence that I can do so much more in other fields and more access to other opportunities after a long career. A very big thanks to Francis who is the “best” her knowledge commitment understanding and patience is second to none. Thank you Francis & Pitman

I found the Sage Course very worthwhile doing for anyone with an interest in accounts/bookkeeping. I received prompt replies for any query I had with Pitman Training Sligo
Pitman Training Sligo is a fantastic training facility ran by the amazing Frances. She makes everything so easy, flexible and effortless. The training system itself is very accessible and straightforward. Thrilled with my diploma! Thank you Frances and co for your amazing service!
I completed a Digital Skills with Accounting Diploma in April. I really enjoyed the course, it was so user friendly which was great for me as i had very little computer skills, i was able to take time away from studying when necessary, and Frances was always there to help me if i had any issues. Graduating was a great experience and i am already looking for my next course to study!
I found the Medical Office course very interesting and i learned so much from the course. I changed career since starting the course and this has helped me so much in my new place of work.. Frances is a gem so helpful, courteous and was of great help to me all through the course keeping me motivated at all times during the course even when the going was getting tough and when i felt like giving up. Thanks so much Frances
I took up a Professional Development course with Pitman and i must say it was one of the best training courses i have ever attended. The support i got from Frances McCarrick in Sligo was tremendous. During a time of going through Covid and 2 family members going through cancer, Frances gave me all the support & encouragement to enable me to fulfill my diploma on time. Frances did regular checks on me and was always there when i needed help with any of the modules. This learning experience was very straight forward and fitted into my busy role in HR and has made me more confident in my abilities. My advice to anyone thinking about doing a course with Pitman is just go for it, you still have your spare time with family and with good organization & time management you can complete the course you have always wanted to do. Thank you to Frances and the team in Sligo for always being on hand to guide me through the process and giving me such valuable training across a variety of subjects chosen for my professional development diploma.
I recently completed the ECDL course with Pitman Training. Whilst in college I struggled a lot with the IT module but with this course it could be completed at my own pace and covers the topics that will be used in day to day. I can’t thank Frances enough, she was a massive help with continuous support and always so welcoming!
Highly recommend Pitman Training Sligo for anything from up-skilling or if you're considering a career change. Very hands on, extremely helpful and constantly in contact for support or to answer any queries. Also the fact that the Sligo centre has Frances is an absolute bonus. Frances could not be any more helpful, she has a way of bringing out the best in you, very encouraging and a genuinely lovely lady. If you're thinking of a course go with Pitman.
