Aidan’s Success Journey
A New Path in Education: Aidan’s Story with Pitman Training
“My name is Aidan. I am a full-time carer to an adult daughter with complex neuro-developmental difficulties, as well as a younger daughter. I’ve been a lone parent for over ten years, and my previous work experience includes hospitality and medical service manufacturing. Returning to education has given me a sense of renewal and purpose.”
“I am delighted to be back in education and hope to continue paving a way forward in new opportunities. I find this training method works well for me. I find the staff and support really helpful and encouraging. Flexibility with training, i.e. work from home and on site, provides greater opportunity to achieve desired results.”
“I would strongly advise studying at Pitman Training. There is great flexibility, excellent support and encouragement from the staff. A wide range of courses and widely recognised.”

Student Testimonials
What a lovely training centre and lovely friendly faces on entering. Thanks in particular to Maria who made me feel so much at ease on induction. The course was well laid out and the literature was easy to understand. I learned a lot of helpful hints and would highly recommend this training centre, which also provides a “welcome” cup of tea and eating area. Thanks again to all the staff.

A.o’keeffe, Farmleigh Waterford City, Medical Secretary Diploma
Great staff, courses are easy to follow and I love that you can do them at your own pace! Very handy when you’re working full time and have small kids at home! Couldn’t say a bad word about them
Ailish Keating Co. Waterford
Pitman Training has reignited my interest in learning which had gone stale since finishing college. Due to working full-time, the course was perfect to do in my own time with Pitman giving support by email and in person if I needed it. I would highly recommend the course and the company. Thanks for all your help
K. Croke, Waterford City, Server Support Tech Diploma Student
In January, I decided to make a change to my life and I started the Medical Secretary Diploma course with Pitman Training Waterford. To date, I have found the course very good and thorough. I do most of the training in the facility. This is a lovely, quiet area with a canteen, all very clean and well looked after. The team there are so friendly and really helpful, I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Best move I’ve made in a long time!!
