What Flexible Training Really Means at Pitman Training

At Pitman Training, flexibility isn’t just about convenience — it’s about offering training that fits around your life and commitments.

You’re in Control of Your Schedule

We don’t lock you into fixed class times. Instead, you choose:

  • The days and times that suit your availability
  • Whether you prefer intensive full-day sessions, evenings after work, or weekend blocks

This means your training can be structured around your lifestyle, job, or family commitments — not the other way around.

A Structured Yet Flexible Blended Learning Model

Our blended learning approach combines the freedom of learning from home with the reassurance of ongoing support.

You can:

  • Complete most of your course from home
  • Stay connected with your Learning Coach and fellow students
  • Access structured content with guidance whenever you need it

This is not just online learning on your own, it’s a supported experience designed to help you succeed.

Skills That Prepare You for the Real World

Every Pitman course is built with a practical focus. We emphasise:

  • Hands-on, real-world skills you’ll actually use
  • Learning in a safe, supportive environment
  • Encouraging growth by treating mistakes as learning opportunities

By the end of your course, you’ll be confident applying your new skills directly in the workplace, not just passing exams.
