Don't leave it any longer to start a new job or career. Find out today how Pitman Training can help you to earn more money and enjoy higher status jobs.

Here is the story of Rachael, one of our students who is taking a secretary course
leading to a diploma.
You can also read the success stories of Lambroulla, who is taking her legal secretarial diploma, Jane, who is studying for her medical secretary diploma, Ade, who is taking one of our bookkeeping courses leading to our accounting technician diploma, Rachael, and Clare who are taking secretarial courses.


It was the Dancers' Career Development Board who helped Rachael Price study for a new career.

Rachael knew she was coming to the end of her career as a professional dancer.

"After 13 years, I needed a new career but I wanted to start at the same level of status I'd held as a dancer. I didn't want to start as an office junior!"

She visited a number of educational establishments offering a secretary course before choosing to study for a Secretarial Diploma at Pitman Training London, High Holborn.

"As soon as I came into the training centre, it was the professionalism of the staff and the opportunity to sample the secretary courses that impressed me," Rachael remembers.

"The Excel audio was brilliant and I was surprised how easy it was to follow, especially as I had no computer or office skills at all."

Having secured funding from the Dancers' Career Development Board, Rachael embarked on her Secretarial Diploma course.

"It was hard at first, moving from an artistic career to learning about office work but I'm very disciplined and I stuck at it."

Even before she had completed her diploma, Rachael began to apply for secretarial jobs.

"Looking back, applying for jobs was quite an achievement. But you've got the comfort of knowing you're equipped - the courses are so extensive."

Before long, Rachael's job search was successful, yet she still needed to earn her diploma.

"Well Pitman Training's opening hours are fabulous! I can do a full time job and study as well. It seems that work helps your studies and your studies help your work. Your brain is more stimulated," Rachael confirms.

She also claims that her biggest achievement in her studies has been gaining a distinction in her Excel Expert exam - something she would never have dreamed of doing at school!

As she approaches the final stages of her diploma course, Rachael says she'll miss the team at High Holborn.

But now she can hold her own in an office environment.

And as she says, "it's nice to know I'll be earning at least what I used to earn in a good year as a dancer."

Valuable Careers Advice.

My name is Ian Frater and I have to say, I think I've got the best job in our whole training centre!

I'm a course advisor and every day I get to meet new people - potential students who need help planning their careers.

Sometimes they're a bit nervous and unsure about the future while others have it all mapped out and just want to get started.

Whatever the situation, I always like to have a good chat with them about their goals and aspirations to check that they're starting off in the best direction for them.

We have a very high student success rate and we achieve that by making sure we understand our students' needs from the outset.
