“I enrolled with Pitman Training Laois in January and all I can say is that I'm delighted I chose them to pursue my training with. Zoe was very helpful, she arranged a Zoom meeting to discuss my options. Everything was easy to understand from the course contents to the costs. Selena and Sam have been amazing to deal with, always only a text away and check in with you every week, it's great to have course advisors that actually know about the course contents and that care about your progression. I'm looking forward to continue with my training over the coming months. I know I'm in good hands.” Rebecca Mulhall Co. Laois

Student of The Month
Congratulations to our December student of the month - Keith Gannon!
My name is Keith and I have worked as a support worker for over three years. I like to be kept busy by studying and working, as this is great for my mental health and keeps me active daily. I like to listen to music and go on walks to explore different areas near where I live or in other counties. I like to socialise with other people and meet new friends on the way if possible, as, I am also a friendly and outgoing person who likes to help other people as much as I can. I have always been into technology, and I like to learn new skills in my programming course Software Development that I am currently conducting with Pitman Training. I am focusing on my new career, which is in Software Development, where I am studying for my diploma to help me get into my dream job when I complete my course and to keep on studying to reach my skills and goals for my new career.
I achieved since commencing my Pitman Training throughout my course in Software Development, I have gained a lot of new skills and information during the course, and I am still learning and studying which is very beneficial to me and I am enjoying every minute of my course with Pitman Training. I had achieved and understood how a programmer works daily with a good idea of how they perform daily while working with code.
My experience with Pitman Training is, a great online platform to study from home, when I am not in the centre the layout and function of the online Pitman Training are easy to follow and understand and I would recommend this to anyone. The staff in the Pitman Training Centre are very nice and always want to help students as this makes it easier for me to communicate to staff if there are any problems or questions I may have. The Pitman Training Centre is always a calm and quiet environment I enjoy attending each time I go to the centre to study and conduct my course. My Advice is to have a good study plan and routine as this helps a lot with focusing on other work you might have such as work or anything else that you may have daily and to take notes throughout your study as I find it helps to save time and less stressful on yourself. This is the way I conduct my studies as it helps me a lot.
