The best way to improve your job and earning prospects is to equip yourself with recognised skills and qualifications - and nothing beats the Pitman Training system for helping you learn successfully. Whether you take a single course on one subject or a more comprehensive diploma covering a range of related topics, our step-by-step approach lets you learn in a proven, logical way. We also run on-line training for those who prefer to learn from home or workplace via the internet.

Learning new skills is easy with Pitman Training. Our tried and trusted methods are the best available and are designed for speedy results. You work at your own pace in our comfortable premises, helped by experienced tutors as required. It's relaxed, non-competitive and free from outside distractions. You choose your own hours, working when it suits you. Our centre is open all day Monday to Friday as well as some evenings and Saturday mornings.

As a guide, a course usually takes between 14 and 20 hours in total, depending on the subject. You can work a little and often or spend longer sessions if you prefer - whatever suits your schedule. On completion you will have a recognised Pitman Training Certificate to prove it (if you complete the exam at a Pitman Training centre) as well as your personalised workbook as a valuable reference guide
