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.
Student Testimonials
I enrolled with Pitman Training Laois in January and all I can say is that I’m delighted I chose them to pursue my training with. Zoe was very helpful, she arranged a Zoom meeting to discuss my options. Everything was easy to understand from the course contents to the costs. Selena and Sam have been amazing to deal with, always only a text away and check in with you every week, it’s great to have course advisors that actually know about the course contents and that care about your progression. I’m looking forward to continue with my training over the coming months. I know I’m in good hands.
