Pitman Training : Pitman Training Spans 80+ Centres Across the UK and Ireland

This Pitman Training brand video walks viewers through the network's positioning as the UK and Ireland's most established business skills training provider. The video opens on the headline numbers — 80-plus global training centres, a footprint that puts a Pitman centre within reach of most students seeking career training — before tracing the heritage that gives the brand its credibility. The story begins in 1837, when Sir Isaac Pitman invented shorthand and founded the Pitman training colleges that would go on to teach thousands of students. The modern Pitman network continues that tradition through a contemporary centre model: regularly updated course catalogues, industry-standard certifications, and a centre-based learning environment supplemented by a state-of-the-art digital learning system. The brand frames its mission as helping people return to work, improve their careers, change lives, and get the job they really want. For prospective franchisees, the video also lays out what the Pitman model actually delivers to students — and therefore what a centre franchise is built around. Dedicated learning coaches walk students through the journey from first enrolment to graduation and into employment support. Students can choose pace, format, and schedule: in-centre, remote, or blended; full-time or part-time; on-site or off-site. That flexibility expands the addressable market for a centre, since the model works for career-changers, returners to work, sponsored corporate students, and learners pursuing specific qualifications.
