Pitman Success Stories

I came to Pitman Training Centre in Colchester because I felt my life had hit rock bottom. I had just split up from my boyfriend of three and a half years, had a job in a supermarket, which I was not enjoying and needed to do something about.

Kun Hee came to Pitman Training Colchester after her last admin job was made redundant. She saw this as an opportunity to retrain herself and embark on a new career in accounts.

Stuart recognised that he needed certificated IT skills that would appeal to employers in London when he moved from Australia and decided on a total career change.

Margaret is 33 and has a disability that affects her mobility and dexterity. She came to Pitman Training Derby wanting a job in accounts and data processing – she’d been unemployed for almost a year.

When Mum of two, Trudy Rodgers, first walked into Pitman Training Plymouth, she had not been in full time employment for ten years so she knew that updating her skills would be the best way for her to get her confidence back and ultimately get back into work.

Jill was offered a fantastic job whilst still only part way through her Accounts Diploma.

Catherine came to us as she wanted to learn new skills to become a Secretary or PA.

Viv was studying a Medical Secretarial Diploma with Pitman Training Swansea as this was something she had wanted to do since leaving school.

Anita studied for an Accounting Technician Diploma at our centre. After completing the training, we arranged a six week placement for her at a local accountancy firm.
