Student of the Month: Nathalie O Connell – From Healthcare to Medical Secretary
Nathalie’s Journey with Pitman Training
“I started with Pitman Training in February/March after speaking to Amy Byrne. I have over 13 years’ experience in Health Care Support and working on and off in different Health Care settings as a Support Worker and Carer’s Assistant great opportunity for personal and professional growth!
As much as I have enjoyed working with special needs and the elderly, I thought it was time for me to leave that area behind and start something new. I decided this year I wanted to try something different and I have often worked in Reception volunteering and on CE Schemes.
Amy recommended the medical secretary course to me and after going through the course list and taking into account my options I wanted to follow through with the course. I have finished Microsoft Office and I am working my way through the course, which I highly recommend.
I am allowed to complete the course at my own pace which allows me to get other jobs done. The girls have been very helpful and understanding, they are very friendly and easy to go to when worried or needing that extra bit of help.
I highly recommend the course at Pitman Training. You can study at your own time and pace. I find I am always more motivated to study when I attend the centre. It really helps to have two screens (monitors) when doing the course as well as getting books.”

Maureen Howe
Management Diploma Student
From my first meeting with the team to the very last the ladies have been so easy to deal with. I studied Management Diploma which took just 12 short months. It was great to be able to do this on my terms when i was able to sqeeze in an hour or two,while still working full time during a difficult year with the pandemic. I’m glad i took the first step and rang them,the support throughout was fantastic,it was just a shame we couldn’t meet face to face. They definitely go above and beyond, wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them to anyone. Great team and service.
Emma Ward Co.Kerry
I chose to study to become a secretary with Pitman because of the flexibility and because of their professional reputation. The training I received led straightaway to a position as a Receptionist. I loved studying and the staff were super helpful and friendly. It’s a stress free way to study and upskill. I’m looking forward to coming back in the future and learning more.
Elizabeth Wakeling
Secretarial Diploma Student
Training with Pitman Training was the best investment of my life. I was able to train in my free time outside of my shift work, and with my new Office Manager Diploma qualification, I got a new job that I love.
