Centre-based office and IT training that helps improve careers, mums return to work and even change lives
Ever since Sir Isaac Pitman invented shorthand 175 years ago, Pitman has been synonymous with the very highest standards. Pitman Training provides exceptional centre-based office and IT training for thousands of people every year throughout the UK and overseas.
Pitman Training Certificates and Diplomas are nationally and internationally recognised by individuals and by employers.

All courses are marked by external examiners to an ISO 9001 quality standard.
In addition to having the Pitman Training qualification, most of their courses can lead to qualifications from a wide range of professional bodies e.g. City&Guilds, Microsoft. Very often, one wlll be able to take the exams in the familiar environment of the Pitman Training centre.
Pitman Training offers Diplomas, Courses, Seminars, In-company training and Distance Learnng. Subject areas include; Accounting, Administration, Business IT, Office Management, Digital Skills, Book-Keeping, Event Management, Microsoft Skills, Secretary/PA, Legal Secretary, Medical Secretary, Network Support, Receptionist, Web Design, Software Application Skills.
Although establishing their first centre in Bath in 1839, it was not until 1992 that franchises became available in the UK. Since then the Group has been awarded the Highly Commended prize in the BFA, Franchisor of the Year Awards and has extended its network across the UK - estimated 51-100 centres. It is also present internationally.
The Pitman Training experience is built around student needs and has been developed using a combination of experience and research.

BRITISH FRANCHISE ASSOCIATION
In 1977, the major franchise companies in the UK decided to set up their own association. The British Franchise Association (bfa), was formed to act in the interests of the industry as a whole in assessing and accrediting franchising companies as those which meet its criteria for the structure of the franchise business, the terms of the contract between franchisor and franchisee, the testing of the system and its success as a franchise.
On this site, we only feature franchisors who are either:
Full Members of the bfa
Full Members are established franchised businesses with a proven trading and franchising record. They are prepared to have their reputation examined by the bfa, and have an established network of franchisees.
or
Associate Members of the bfa
Associate Members have proven their ability to launch and support at least one franchised outlet for 12 months and are now in the business of building their network. There will be few franchisees whose experience you can research and a short period of time over which the business has been tested.
