Honouring Dedication: Meet our Student of the Year
“My name is Declan Allman. I am 44 years old and work in the pharmaceutical sector. I started with Pitman Training in September 2023, and I’m currently studying the Accounting Technician Diploma with AAT. I have always had an interest in working with numbers and exploring the full realm of accountancy. I found Pitman Training the best place to start my education in this industry.
I have completed all my exams and am currently awaiting the results from AAT. Throughout this course, I have come to learn that accountancy is not just about numbers. There is a lot more that needs to be done to ensure a business can survive and have sufficient funds to operate.
Since I have started with Pitman Training, everyone has been extremely helpful. At the initial consultation, there is an in-depth meeting with a course advisor to ensure that the course you are looking to do is the right course for you. The centre is ideal for studying in a quiet environment, but the option to study at home makes it easier to fit your own personal needs. There is always someone on hand to assist or answer any questions you may have about any course.
My advice to others is that if you are thinking of furthering your career or upskilling your education, do not hesitate to give Pitman Training a call or pop in for a visit. Everyone is extremely helpful and friendly, and you will get the course that is just right for you. You won’t be disappointed in joining Pitman Training.”
