Pitman Training Centre Notting Hill |
 |
Famous for nearly 200 years for our shorthand method, Pitman Training is the longest-established private provider of secretarial, office and bookkeeping skills in the UK, offering nationally recognised qualifications.
We welcome students of all levels, from beginners to experts and many of our students are from overseas, so we're used to supporting people with English as a second or third language.
In Notting Hill, we provide training in an unusual way, offering self-paced education, where individuals work at their own pace with an audio track, workbook and PC and on-site tutors at our learning centres.
It's a little like distance learning but it takes place at our training centre where our trainers are always on hand to unravel your mistakes, provide advice and guidance and coach you towards exam success.
You can study with us at a pace to suit yourself and there is no need for a rigid timetable as you have a personal log-on allowing you to pick up wherever you left off when you come in to study - it's great for people who work shifts or have irregular timetables
We're open from 09: 00-20: 00 Monday to Thursday, 09: 00-16: 30 on Fridays and 10: 00-16: 00 on Saturdays, so it's easy to fit your studies around your other commitments.
While employers and recruitment agencies love our diplomas and certificates, more important than these qualifications is that we focus on giving you practical skills with which you can prove your competence to propsective employers or with which you can impress your current boss.
You can enrol with us at any time - even today if you wish
Just call us on 020 7025 4700 or visit www. holborntraining. co. uk to find out more.
