Katherine Roberts’ Path to Triumph with Pitman Training
Katherine Roberts’ incredible educational journey started with Pitman Training because of a little research and word-of-mouth, “I heard of Pitman Training and I Googled it, then found it had lots of good reviews.” Katherine then quickly learned our courses fit with her plans, “I wanted a more professional and stable job, and I wanted to focus on the Administrative Assistant Diploma.”
Pitman Training’s flexible scheduling and staff were also a welcome surprise to Katherine. “The flexibility to study when I wanted and access support when needed made the learning experience enjoyable. The best part was being able to learn at my own pace.” She continues, “Having a Learning Coach was fantastic. I always got quick responses to my questions, and it was a tremendous help.”
When asked about more Pitman Training in the future, Katherine responded positively. “The training has opened up more educational opportunities for me as an adult, and I plan to take more courses in the future. I loved studying with Pitman Training, and I’m already looking at another course. It has been a transformative journey, enhancing my education and career prospects.”
Before she finished, Katherine wanted to give some friendly advice to all of our new students striving for success. “My advice to others is to keep a calendar for your modules, but use a pencil. It helps you plan your time. Sometimes I was ahead, and sometimes I was behind, but having a rough plan eased my anxieties about completing the courses.”
Katherine Roberts’ experience with Pitman Training exemplifies the transformative power of education. With flexible learning options, dedicated support, and newfound career prospects, her journey is a testament to the opportunities that await those who choose Pitman Training.
