Long
hours on her poor tired feet were the motivation for High
Holborn student Jane Dredge to change career!
Thirty
plus years as a hospital physiotherapist convinced Jane
there must be a less exhausting way of making a living,
which is why she decided
to study to be a medical secretary at Pitman Training London
(High Holborn).
Jane
didn't want to throw away her medical experience so she
chose to study for our
Medical
Secretary Diploma.
"I
wanted an exciting career where I could put my medical knowledge
to good use without working all day on my feet," confirms
Jane.
With
almost zero knowledge of computers and how to use them,
Jane initially enrolled for our ECDL
(European Computer Driving Licence) course, where she
learned how to use Microsoft's popular word processing,
spreadsheet and database packages.
"The
programs are so clever, especially Excel
|
and
I find self-directed learning very enjoyable," adds Jane.
Although she admits that the ECDL course seemed
totally foreign at first, she soon picked it up and passed
her exams.
Her confidence high, Jane embarked on her medical secretary
diploma course, working hard to pass all the in-depth modules,
including medical terminology, letter styles for GP's, hospitals
and consultants and courses in Word and Excel.
Today, Jane is in the final stages of
earning her Medical
Secretary Diploma and is looking forward to finding an
absorbing job back in the medical world.
We wish her well and we're keen to see
her prove the truth of our new slogan:
"Learn more, earn more!"
