In today’s fast-paced business landscape, it’s essential for companies to evolve and innovate to stay ahead of the curve. At Pitman Training, we’ve always believed in the importance of continuous development and growth. With a long history in the educational sector, we’ve witnessed significant changes and advancements in technology, particularly with the rise of distance learning. Our ability to adapt and innovate has been crucial in maintaining our position as a leading provider of training and education.
Embracing Change and Innovation
The shift towards online learning has been a significant trend in recent years. However, we’ve found that many students struggle with the isolation of online learning. To address this, we’ve focused on creating a more interactive and engaging experience for our students. Our online learning platform, Pitman Campus, has been designed to provide a seamless and user-friendly experience, allowing students to access our high-quality course content from anywhere. But what sets us apart is our network of physical training centers, which provides students with the opportunity to interact with our tutors and peers in person.
Supporting Students and Franchise Partners
Our students have consistently told us that having access to a physical training center is a key factor in their decision to choose Pitman Training. We’ve found that having a local center provides students with the support and guidance they need to succeed. Our franchise partners also benefit from having a physical presence, as it enables them to reach out and support students more effectively. We’ve had many successes with our innovations, which have brought benefits to both our students and franchise partners.
Our Online Learning Platform
We’re proud to offer our second and latest version of our online virtual learning platform, Pitman Campus. Launched in August 2016, this platform takes into account the feedback and learnings from our previous version, which was launched in 2010. Pitman Campus provides students with a uniform experience, regardless of their location or circumstances. The benefits for our franchise partners include an enhanced student experience, reduced software and hardware costs, and a streamlined student enrollment process.
Customer Relationship Management System
In 2016, we invested in a modern, customized customer management system, Microsoft Dynamics. This system has been tailored to fit the workflows of our franchise network, providing our partners with a world-class tool to manage their sales and customer interactions. We’ve also provided training and support to ensure our partners get the most out of this system. The benefits include increased sales conversion rates and average selling prices, as well as improved customer engagement and retention.
In-House Training Materials
We develop over 80% of our training materials in-house, which has enabled us to maintain the high quality and vocational focus of our courses. Our materials are designed to be engaging and interactive, providing students with the job-ready skills they need to succeed. We’re continually testing new methods to improve the student experience, while maintaining the alignment of our courses to relevant qualifications and sound principles of learning.
Support and Guidance
We understand the importance of providing students with access to good support and guidance when needed. Our franchise partners recruit for a number of roles, including supervisors, who play a crucial role in supporting students. We’ve found that our well-researched and developed training materials minimize the need for supervisor and student interaction, although this can vary from student to student.
