Sheila’s Success Journey

Sheila Balancing the Books & Her Ambitions

We are proud to present our May 2025 Student of the Month, Sheila Purtill! Since starting her training with Pitman, Sheila has been incredibly hardworking and resilient. Our team at the Clare Centre continuously notices her dedication and drive, making this award well deserved.

“I’m currently doing the Bookkeeping Diploma, hoping to get back into the workforce. I feel that the course is easy to follow, and with the help and encouragement of the girls at the centre, I passed my first two tests.”

“From the first moment I walked through the door, I felt welcomed, and my nerves went away. Each day I go, I’m greeted by the girls, and the atmosphere is very calming and relaxing. The girls at the desk are lovely, helpful, and very encouraging. Nothing is too much trouble; they are always willing to help.”

“If you are considering training with Pitman, talk to the girls and go for it. The whole experience is great. There is always a friendly face to greet you, and no question phases them. They are very encouraging.”

At Pitman Training, flexibility isn’t just about convenience — it’s about offering training that fits around your life and commitments.

You’re in Control of Your Schedule

We don’t lock you into fixed class times. Instead, you choose:

  • The days and times that suit your availability
  • Whether you prefer intensive full-day sessions, evenings after work, or weekend blocks

This means your training can be structured around your lifestyle, job, or family commitments — not the other way around.

You can:

  • Complete most of your course from home
  • Stay connected with your Learning Coach and fellow students
  • Access structured content with guidance whenever you need it

This is not just online learning on your own, it’s a supported experience designed to help you succeed.

Skills That Prepare You for the Real World

Every Pitman course is built with a practical focus. We emphasise:

  • Hands-on, real-world skills you’ll actually use
  • Learning in a safe, supportive environment
  • Encouraging growth by treating mistakes as learning opportunities

By the end of your course, you’ll be confident applying your new skills directly in the workplace, not just passing exams.

Student Testimonials

Real stories from students and graduates – see how we’ve helped transform careers and lives.

From the start, staff at Pitman TC have been welcoming, friendly, supportive and very knowledgeable. It is like having your own personal cheerleading squad on tap, their friendliness is contagious. The space is a good learning environment, clean, airy and modern. The course is broken down into excellently sized modules, helping you mange your time and learning according to your needs. The modules are very well detailed with very good reference and workbooks to go along. I would highly recommend taking a course here and will probably continue with another course in time to come.

– Deirdre Leahy
HR Assistant Diploma

I have just stared my training since February 25, since I first made contact with the girls in the Ennis office the process was flawless. I met with Sarah the consultant and we went through my needs and I actually came away with a course designed for me that I didn’t think was possible.

From then on the girls in the office have been so helpful! I am mainly doing the course from home and they regularly check in with me to see how I am getting on and if I need any help.

When I do need to contact them they are just at the end of the phone and answer almost immediately. I am not worried about anything in terms of the course etc as I know that the girls in the office will assist me in any way. Would highly recommend that’s coming from a very busy mum of two & I am completing the Advanced Accounts Diploma.

– Pamela Lacken
Advanced Accounts Diploma

A big thank you to all the girls in the centre for all their help and support over the last year. Their guidance and reassurance has helped motivate me even more to do anything in terms of education. The Bookkeeping Diploma has been such a beneficial course in terms of modules within the course and the job prospects afterwards. The teaching methods and course books allowed me to study and learn in a way that felt right for me. As a result, I have started a new job doing what I love and know that with Pitman I can go even further. Thanks for all the support and guidance, ladies, you are all truly amazing.

– Dee O Leary
Bookkeeping Diploma Graduate

I completed the bookkeeping and sage awards course. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and am excited to use these skills in my job. I found the learning easy and straightforward. Everything in the course was relevant and interesting. The girls in the centre were very supportive and helpful throughout the 6 months. I look forward to upskilling even more in the future with Pitman Training here in Ennis and look forward to using the skills I have learnt in future jobs and careers.

Thanks for everything,

– Emily Whelan

I took this course as I am an administration supervisor & I found I only had certain Excel skills which got me by. I often used YouTube to look up areas like repeating charts etc. I wasn’t familiar with. So, I found by doing this course it gave me the skills I needed without having to constantly go online for the answers.

The team in Ennis are great, very friendly & helpful, always checking in to see how you are getting on. They motivated me when I needed a push with their kind text messages so I found this motivated me to keep going with the course.

I find Excel quite boring so the girls helped me push through.

All the staff in Ennis are a credit to Pitman Training & I thank them for all their help & support.

– Barbara Corbett
Excel 2019 Expert

I took this course after being made redundant. I had dabbled in Power BI in my last job but the course at Pitman training allowed me to upskill and gain a recognised qualification in Power BI, hopefully increasing my chances of finding employment again.

Special thanks to all the girls at Pitman for all their help throughout the training.

From the first moment i arrived at the college & talking to all the wonderful staff, they have been so unbelievably brilliant, kind, so understanding on every level, you feel as if you know've them all your life. That in itself sends out great vibes about the college & the people who work there. They are always willing to help out with any questions i have & always make sure i understand what they explained. Their patience & kindness at all times thtoughout my course from the beginning with these wonderful people is second to none. I enjoy doing my course whether it's at home or in college, because i know the Pitman Training staff are only a phonecall or text away from helping with any issues i encounter. I look forward to graduating from my course & knowing that i had support every step of the way the these wonderful people at Pitman.

David Enright
I was pleasantly surprised to find such a comprehensive Training and Education Centre in Ennis.

The staff were all so welcoming and encouraging from initial induction to Graduation Day.

I completed my Studies in a tailor made Office Skills Diploma with Pitman Training Clare.

I was delighted with and needed the support I received throughout the course. The regular texts and messages kept me motivated and ensured timelines were adhered to, this enabled me to finish the course, just in time.
My advise to anyone who is thinking of studying is to use the time when you have it as unforeseen circumstances can present and you may regret not using all the free time when it presented.

I am very grateful to Shila and all the Team at Pitman Training for all they did for me during my Studies, so thank you all very much.

If you are thinking of starting a course or just want to upskill, I would highly recommend Pitman Training Clare.
Kindest Regards again to all at Pitman Training Ennis😊.

Furthermore when you finish your studies Pitman's Team offer continued support with Career Services such as:

CV Clinics, Interview Skills, Mock Interviews and Employment and Job opportunities.

Who needs a 3rd level qualification, just send your Kids here after School, they might actually learn something useful.
