Pitman Training

    Has anyone had experience of using this company recently?

    I have of course heard of them in the UK, but that was quite a few years ago when they were better known as a secretarial college. Pitman reckon that on completing the course, they could set me up with interviews/jobs. Of course, given the current climate that remains to be seen...

    It's a very expensive course (about 2.5k) which of course (excuse the pun!:P) I would find difficult to fund as I am unemployed.

    Is there any way I could get funding to do the course?

    TIA:)

    I was thinking of doing a course with pitman enquired to fas and was told they didn't have their budget yet but it's still worth a try!

    Hi

    Got a reply from FAS this morning, and thought I would post it up in case anyone else might be interested...

    As Pitman is not FETAC accredited, FAS will not be able to fund the course. There is a 'training budget' of E500 per person, but this is for FETAC courses only. Courses costing over the E500 FAS will fund the first 500, with the remainder funded by the candidate.

    In short - only Industry-related or FETAC courses will be funded by FAS.

    Hope this helps!
