Want to give someone an unusual Christmas present this year? Something useful that could change someone’s life? A gift that can last forever? Well, mad as it sounds, many people would love to receive a Pitman Training course for Christmas! It’s true! Every November and December, we get a number of people buying a touch typing course as a present (usually from a wife to a husband) or even a diploma level secretary course (usually from a Dad to a daughter). Gifts like this are really useful and have a long shelf-life – typing skills for example, will last you till you shuffle off this mortal coil! Men in particular seem to appreciate education as a gift, presumably because it is more practical than socks and slippers and lasts longer than a bottle of whisky. But you don’t have to be gender specific. In these tough times, maybe it’s better to get the gift of a typing course or some other training that might lead to a job. This year, we want to make people aware that we have a CV writing and interview skills course at only £188.34. We’re sure it will be a popular gift. Just in case you’re looking for it on our course list, it’s called “Go Get That Job” and it’s a programme you can start at any time (even before Christmas if you want to get a head start). For those wanting to push the boat out and give a really impressive present, try our Executive PA diploma at approximately £5000.00 or our Accounting Technician Diploma at approximately £3000.00. Fortunately we have instalment plans so you can spread the cost of your gift over a number of months. These diploma programmes are real career building courses and even though the jobs market is rather tough, our students are still getting into high status, well-paid careers on the back of them. If you’re unsure what would be right for that special person, why not give us a call or come and speak with one of our friendly Course Advisors? They’ll listen carefully and suggest a number of suitable courses.
