“I have just completed my courses in Word and Excel at the Swansea centre and would like to thank Nichola and Dave for their help, guidance and patience throughout my studies. I have thoroughly enjoyed my courses, have learnt loads, and am much more confident in my computer skills. The service was professional and extremely friendly, and the unlimited supply of drinks and snacks were great. It is a lovely environment for learning and I would urge anyone seeking to further their skills, to consider a course at Pitman Swansea! I highly recommend it. Thank-you.”

“Having very recently (Oct 19) completed the 1 year Executive PA Diploma with a Distinction I wanted to post how impressed I am with the support and help I received at the Plymouth training centre. Both Magdalena and Samantha were so helpful with any queries throughout the course and reassuring at each exam. The course is one of the most comprehensive diplomas offered and having not studied for many years had no idea if I could manage it. However with great support from the team and a lot of hard work I'm so pleased with my achievement (14 distinctions and 2 passes and Student of the Month in April). Now thinking of taking further courses with Pitman as it has been such a positive experience and really enjoyable. For anyone thinking about taking a course do it - you won't be disappointed and will have great support throughout.”

“Terrible company who are totally about money and targets. Awful company. Go to NILC”

“They try to sell you the most expensive course, when you go to meet a career councillor. It’s very much a money oriented system. There are far better courses elsewhere for less than half the price of Pitman’s. Stay clear”

“I have now completed my IT office skills diploma and gained a distinction overall, I have also secured a role working in school administration. The team in Plymouth were friendly, helpful and always got back to me with helpful advice and sound answers to my many questions! I would thoroughly recommend Pitman's and would return to study with them in the future. The online courses are excellent and you can learn at your own pace fitting in with family life and other commitment's you may have.”

“Called Hammersmith several times on 30th August to book an AAT exam - each time went straight to a queue with no-one picking up so tried Wetherby call centre who took my details and said someone would call me back. Never happened so booked and took exam elsewhere.”

“Dave and Nichola at Pitmans Swansea have been a great help from start to finish. I recently completed AAT level 2 and have moved on to my level 3 studies and throughout they have both been great. Always happy to help and booking assessments is an easy, stress free process. The assessment centre has been a calm environment throughout with Dave & Nicola providing tea or coffee before and helping in any way then can, whilst maintaining a professional attitude. I look forward to completing my further studies with them.”

“Enquired twice and haven’t received a call back, I called twice and was left on hold for up to 2 hours and still no one answered but every time they cut me off. It’s been 2 weeks since I enquired! Why is there no response!”

“Greenwich centre over priced course. Refuse to refund difference. Called other centre's and they all priced the HR course at 1,800 but Greenwich have claimed it's 3,400. Did complain but customer service don't care nor do the staff at Greenwich. Go to a local authority run education center if you want value for money and a good service. Given course content you may as well buy the books for dummies! Don't use this company. Con men”

“I emailed the Hammersmith training centre about prices for exams. They emailed me back confirming £90 which i naturally queried, as the AAT site says £45. The training provider replied "As this seems to be an issue for you,, I would suggest another exam centre." I am a resident in the Hammersmith area, so the location of this test centre would have been beneficial. I have 5 module exams to sit L3 and then L4, so they have just missed out on a potential new customer due to lack of customer service. I hope you appreciate exams are overwhelming for students and the whole process isn't that enjoyable. For a test centre provider such as Pitman Training, i would expect warm, friendly and informative staff and not making potential customers feel like an inconvenience.”

“I spent the last year focusing on a secretarial Diploma to help develop my skills and find permanent work in Administration. I found the course really helpful, clear and easy to understand. There are so many courses to choose from at Pitman and I chose the secretarial Diploma because it specialised in a lot of programmes which are run in offices, programmes that I would need to be successful in the workplace. I was able to work on the course around my day doing as little or as much as I wanted. And if I was unsure about something the staff at Pitman were always on the other end to help and give advice. As a whole, I highly recommend Pitman training to all!”

“If you want to finish some small courses, like Excel or Word, they're ok but too expensive. If you want anything serious, forget about them. If you want an AAT qualification, just buy the books from Osbourne, pay the student membership to AAT, and choose and pay an exam. The centre is not able to help you with AAT, ATT or ACCA etc. (They never heard of Tolley's!) I wanted to renew my membership with AAT and I needed a professional reference. So I went back to Pitman. I paid them £2,370 for a useless qualification and they refused to give me a reference because I haven't pay them any money the last two years.”

“I studied the Microsoft office award course and found the staff and course books excellent. Nothing was too much trouble and all my questions were answered on the same day. I enjoyed the course so much I have paid to do one more module. Pitman's in the future will be my first choice of study.”

“I took a course with Pitman years ago to become a secretary, they promised assisted during the course but i was left for hours sometimes with no one to help me. They only have couple people to assist students. I lost about £3.000 pounds because it was difficult for me so i end up leaving half way trough. They never gave my money back after I complained about how unhappy i was with the course.”

“Pitman Training Centre in Taunton was a dream location for my Bookkeeping course. The staff were always friendly, and happy to help. Cannot thank them enough for the support shown. All this helped me to pass the exam with a distinction . Thank you all at Pitman’s Taunton”

“I started my executive pa course in Stratford in October & to date I have never had a phone call to see who my progress was. They were quick to take my money but not really follow up with any solid training or care. I once went into the centre a few mouths after I started to find a girl eating crisps & her dinner at her desk!! It was very unprofessional & off putting to say the least. I would only recommend this centre if you are happy to just not have any help/ contact with a tutor but I still think this is a very poor way to run a training centre. Not great!!”

“I've now completed my project management diploma with Pitman Croydon, passed with distinction. Great being able to work at own pace and was told at the beginning if I put in the time worked the modules did the exercises and mock tests I'd always pass and I did. Staff were always on hand to help and the course material very professional, I've no problem in highly recommending Pitman training.”
