Pitman Training London

Whether you are investing in your own training or it is being organised by your company, it is important that the learning method and style fits the need. At Pitman Training Centres we have a good choice of methods and styles to fit around your lifestyle or working life, so you are spoilt for choice. Important things to consider are:

Flexible training means the course can start at any time - so tomorrow if there is a place free! You set your own hours and work at your own pace in our relaxed, quietly focused atmosphere, supported by experienced Training Advisers. There is a guideline number of hours for each course which can be programmed over a few days, weeks or months. You progress at your chosen pace dependent on your aims - you can do it full-time and fast or pace yourself part-time around work or personal commitments. You progress through your workbook, one module at a time, at your own pace. You are in control - you can go back and recap or skip through a feature you already know - the choice is yours. Our centres are open all day Monday to Friday as well as some evenings and Saturday.

We realise that online learning makes it easier for you to pick up and put down your course at a time to suit you. Pitman Training Distance learning enables you to do just that...

Distance learning has become more and more popular in the UK, as people are keen to progress their careers and try to fit training into their busy lives. Pitman Training Distance Learning gives you the flexibility to study online at home or from the office, with the full support of our centre teams. This way it’s even easier for you to pick up and put down your course, and fit it into your life.

We appreciate that it isn’t always easy to get to a centre, but we don’t want that to stop you from learning new skills! With our distance learning courses you get the best of both worlds.

Unlike any other online or distance learning training provider, Pitman Training has a national network of local course advisors, who will support you throughout your learning. You can get in touch with an advisor by telephone, via email or pop into your nearest centre for advice and guidance throughout your development. Click here to find out more

If you prefer the classroom style, we have a schedule of open seminar dates on a range of IT software applications, keyboard, shorthand and business skills. These courses are held at our well-equipped Training Centre in London EC2. Alternatively we can run any of our courses just for your company ‘off-the-shelf’ or tailored to suit your group – on-site, at a venue near you or in our training rooms. They are generally one or two day courses, but many can be tailored to run as half-day sessions for corporate groups.

The material is always first-class and our tutors are highly skilled at giving you a fantastic learning experience. Up-to-date adult learning methods and an interactive style means your interest is captured throughout each session and you leave determined to try out your skills.

Sometimes the ability to train directly from home or the workspace is the key. So may prefer to choose our online courses in IT and keyboard skill. We provide a start-up session at the training centre of your office for companies and then you can access them through dial up and Broadband connections on any computer for your ease and convenience. While these provide the perfect cost-effective training environment, they are best suited to those already comfortable with IT and working online.

Companies particularly often need a mix of learning. With groups who are at different skills levels, work at different locations and have different working hours you often need a mix of all of the above to make it work. Our team can help you tailor the programme to match your training aims and financial needs. This can include on-site workshops, help lines, floor-walking support during software transition, one-2-one coaching/teaching for senior staff, support materials and quickstart guides.

For corporate organisations we'll handle your project from concept, through creation to delivery. We'll work with you on the Training Needs Analysis to make sure the training is designed to hit the spot, then on post-training measurement to ensure the workplace return is delivered.

I thought the method of training via audio and workbooks was excellent as the use of audio gives you the option to repeat a lesson as many times as you like until you understand it fully.
