I chose this course as I wanted a qualification which would allow me to work in an office environment. Pitman offered affordable courses which were flexible enough to allow me to retrain while working. The Learning Coaches were extremely helpful and understanding. My experience with Pitman was stress-free and smooth and I’m very happy with the whole experience.
