Pitman Training in Cork is one of the most modern and spacious training centres in Cork city. Located in Blackpool Retail Park on the 3rd Floor of River House, it is directly across from a free multi-story car park and close to a number of cafés, banks and shopping centres. Pitman Training Cork is easily accessible by bus, car and within walking distance of the city centre.
An interesting fact about Pitman Training Cork is that all supervisors are former students. This means that they are able to advise and help you through your up-skilling and training successfully using their own experience as a guide.
The owners, Tomás Finneran and Kristian O’Donovan, also run a successful international eLearning company and have extensive experience in recruiting both nationally and internationally across a variety of roles including IT technical, secretarial and accounting positions.
Since opening in 2008, Pitman Training Cork has built up strong working relationships with recruitment agencies including Chase Resourcing, CPL Recruitment and Recruit Ireland, giving our students the best possible chance of securing their ideal job.
