Success Stories

With an educational background in tropical soils and entomology and a previous role as manager of a butterfly house, Tamsin Job isn’t the typical person you’d expect to find taking a diploma in accounting. After deciding to expand her career options and develop a skillset she could use anywhere in the world, Tamsin sought out Pitman Training to help her spread her wings.

Helen McAllister had been working in the same role for 20+ years but decided she wanted a change. After finding Pitman Training, she took the Professional Executive PA Diploma with AAT to get her out of her comfort zone.

“Having been made redundant after 30 years in plumbing sales, estimating, and purchasing, I decided to improve my skillset with recognised Microsoft qualifications.
