Pitman Training Reading…
Enrolling to Pitman Training Reading was my worst decision. I could have paid a lot less at my local training centre. I paid £2,030 for a course. The course is distance learning. Before I made the payment I was welcomed and provided with support by Andre. However after I made my payment it stopped. I was not able to start my course right away so I phoned Andre to ask for my start date to be pushed forward to May. When I started in May I was experiencing technical issues as Pitman's system was not compatible with Mac. I was given contact details to their IT department. I contacted them but had no respond. In June I was told that I should wait until end of July for their new online learning platform switch. When I contacted Pitman in July I was told that I will not be able to continue the subject I was waiting to complete because it has expired. Pay attention to the word 'expired'. They use this a lot at Pitman to try and have you pay more money to extend your course. I refused to pay and decided to move on to the second subject of the course. I called on several occasions for support on the subject matter however I was told to visit the centre. I live an hour away from the centre so this was not an option. I was told that I can study distance learning at my own pace when I was enrolling to which made my decision easier to enrol. I was also told that I have 3 months to complete each subject to which I had 4 to complete. As Pitman had technical issues with their old website and I had to wait for the switch to happen in July thus my start date is July. I contacted Andre last week to continue my studies on the phone and he said okay just to wait until the centre reopens after the pandemic. But received an email from Andre the following morning saying that my course has expired. Even when I told them that I was affected by the current situation they told me that I will have to pay £504 to continue. Also even though I had 2 subjects left that I paid for, for £1100 I was told that I will not be allowed to continue the course unless I pay the same amount. Anyone planing on study with Pitman be very aware of their tactics as they only care about charging more money than providing you with the training that you have paid for. There is a lot more to this story that have not included. All I can say to anyone planing on studying with Pitman Reading is to avoid avoid avoid as they are very unreasonable and difficult to deal with. It's never their fault even when it is. All they care about is selling an extension to you. I have planned to take legal action against Pitman Reading. Ibrahim
