"I needed help to succeed"

Executive PA Diploma with Shorthand
"Im
now confident in my ability to pass agency tests!!
Before attending Pitman Training I had been working as a PA in my
home country of Portugal and for four months in England with an option
to continue. However due to a need for solid qualifications to gain
the sort of job I really wanted, I decided to give up my job and
pursue a training course with Pitmans at Oxford Circus.
I have recently completed an Executive PA Diploma with Distinction, so
I am very pleased. I thoroughly enjoyed the training and the
environment. Everyone was always helpful and polite. Explanations were
always given. At present I am looking for work and have
approached a few agencies with confidence in my ability to apply for
jobs and take the agency tests. I am now confident that the skills I
have learnt will help me succeed.

Accounting Technician Diploma
"After
my accounting course the response to my CV was amazing!"
When I first
came to England I sold properties abroad. My background before that
had been in computer programming in Bulgaria and
Israel. I wanted a change and as I enjoy working with
numbers, I was considering accounting. I approached Pitman
Training and, after a consultation with a Course Advisor, I signed up
for the Accounting Technician Diploma. I continued working and
completed the Diploma within a year. I started applying for jobs just
before I finished my course and was amazed and delighted at the
response and the type of jobs I was able to apply for.
Within a week of completing my course I had several interviews and was
able to choose from a number of job offers. There is a
huge demand in finance. I have found it interesting and creative.

"My new job is just what I wanted!"

Executive PA
Diploma with Shorthand
"A
qualification, a great job
and lifelong friends!"
I started at Pitman Training Oxford Circus when I had just
finished 6th Form and was looking for my first career job. The Pitman
Course adviser carefully helped me choose the right course and I
completed the Executive PA Diploma with shorthand. I reached 80 wpm.
The training method was very flexible, the courses really useful and
the staff were so helpful and patient. I met lots of new people and
made some life long friends, so I thoroughly enjoyed it. On gaining my
Diploma, Love and Tate found me some temporary jobs with the Financial
Times and Turning Point and then I was ready to start my permanent
career. Now I am an Administrator with a big insurance company a
combination of admin and secretarial. Just what I wanted! My aunty who
works in the City had recommended Pitman Training to me because she is
familiar with their standards and she was right. The Executive PA
Diploma was definitely great for me.

"I now have a permanent job!"
PUJA
| Microsoft Office Skills Diploma
"I was at an all-time
low
and then I found Pitman Training"
Having been away for over a year, I came back to London ready to start work again.
I searched on the net and through agencies but soon found that my Microsoft skills let me down. Fortunately through Hotcourses directory I found Pitman Training in Oxford Circus. With no interest in my CV, my spirits were at an all time low when I kept my appointment there with Maria.
I was greeted with a radiant smile and lots of sensible questions, then Maria clearly presented the Microsoft office package and helped me decide on the best options. She introduced me to Love & Tate, the associated recruitment agency. The consultant took time to really go over my CV and get to understand me. Wow!
Within 3 days I was training and had a temporary job to tide me over. With flexible training times I was able to earn while I learned. Fantastic and several of my friends have now had the same experience!
