Pitman Success Stories

Pitman Training Naas held its official opening with local dignitaries in attendance. The centre located in Monread Shopping Centre has been operating under new management.

In May 2009 aged 41 years and after 26 years in the Manufacturing Industry I suddenly found myself unemployed. Having left school at 16, I had no formal education behind me. The future looked very bleak indeed....

Paula previously worked as an Insurance Administrator and approached Pitman Training Dublin after deciding she needed a change. Now working as a Medical Secretary

I have finished my Pitman Training Business Skills Diploma with Human Resources and Personnel, at the centre in Wexford. I thought the Pitman Training course was excellent as it helped me to achieve my goal, and gave me the confidence to believe that I can excel in my working life.

I needed to update my skills and chose a Business IT Diploma as it specialises in computing and administration skills. I got a new job through Pitman Training Dublin before I had even finished the course.

Pitman Training Wexford opened many doors for me. Not only did I learn the skills to make myself successful in the work place, but I also experienced the amazing support from the trainers and career advisory staff in the Wexford Centre.

Pitman Training Naas awarded Goldstar Educator Status by the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Ireland. Owner Vaeni Mac Donnell expressed her sincere thanks for this prestigious award.

At its official launch day earlier in 2014, Pitman Training Naas were honoured that so many dignitaries were able to join the team for this special day.

After many years working in the financial sector in a sales role I decided enough was enough! Fed up with sales targets and working late evenings and weekends, I decided I needed to look for a new career.

Leaving school in 5th year and moving up to Dublin was hard and I felt under pressure to prove to people that it was the right choice for me. The plan had been to join another school and complete my leaving cert but I did not feel confident enough to have to start again fresh at a new school.

I recently completed my Legal Secretarial Diploma at the Pitman Training Centre in Gorey. As an overseas student, I didn’t know what to expect and always thought it would be hard for me to study in English...

I first decided to upgrade my skills after an interview with an employer that advised me that my ECDL qualification was out of date. As you can well imagine, I was initially horrified to learn this, I had completed the ECDL nearly 12 years previously and naturally presumed that this was still a valuable qualification on my CV.

Congratulations to all our recent graduates

Congratulations to Mary Nash who was the Accounts student of the year at Pitman Training Limerick.

Simon came to Pitman Training Chesterfield to study Book-Keeping and Accounts to add to his previous IT Technical qualifications as he was finding employment in this field impossible to find.

Amy really enjoyed learning with Pitman Training. She found all the staff supportive and the learning structure was flexible to fit in with her other commitments.

Graduate Claire originally contacted Pitman Training Plymouth in October 2009. “At that time”, Claire explains, “I had just come back to Plymouth and found it really hard to get a job even with my degree...”

After 15 years as a full-time Mum to two daughters I decided it was time to go back to work in accounting, which seemed preferable to becoming a full-time chauffeur service for teenage girls! But how? It looked like a daunting task....
