COLCHESTER Pitman Training Centre is situated on the historic North Hill, opposite St Peter's Church.

Pitman Training began with one shorthand school in 1870. Today, the company is unique in being not only the oldest and longest running independent training company, but also for having the largest independent UK network of training centres, training 50,000 people every year.

Pitman Training's unbeatable experience is a way to guarantee success and its teaching methods and course materials are some of the best available.

The centre provides training and delivers nationally recognised diplomas such as executive PA, legal/medical secretary, foundation in finance, IT, receptionist and many more.

It also provides all the training people need in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access and Outlook, along with vocational, accounting, web design and HTML courses.

Technical courses include A+, N+ MCSA, MCSE and CISCO.

The staff are friendly and welcoming, and dedicated to giving individuals a complete and professional learning experience.

Studying is flexible as it is student-led rather than bound by class times/course dates and clients can start any of the centre's courses at a time which suits them.

There are no entry requirements and the environment is welcoming and comfortable.
