Leah’s Success Journey
Student of the Month – March 2026 | Pitman Training Waterford
Leah Wallace was awarded Student of the Month for March 2026 in recognition of her outstanding commitment, positivity and consistency throughout her training journey with Pitman Training Waterford.
Last year, Leah made a significant career change, moving from outdoor work into an office-based role. As someone balancing work, family life and learning with two children, adapting to a completely new working environment required determination and dedication.
Since starting her course, Leah has built a strong foundation in key administrative and computer skills while steadily growing in confidence in her new career path.
“Since starting the course, I have successfully developed a strong foundation in key administrative skills, including Excel. I had a really positive experience with Pitman Training. From the beginning, I found the course to be well structured and easy to follow, even though it was completely new to me.”
Leah was always engaged with the team and brought a positive attitude into the centre every week without fail. Her commitment to learning, consistency and enthusiasm throughout her studies made her a very deserving Student of the Month.
The flexibility of the programme also allowed Leah to balance studying alongside work and family responsibilities, helping her continue progressing towards her goals while developing valuable new skills for the future.

Student Testimonials
What a lovely training centre and lovely friendly faces on entering. Thanks in particular to Maria who made me feel so much at ease on induction. The course was well laid out and the literature was easy to understand. I learned a lot of helpful hints and would highly recommend this training centre, which also provides a “welcome” cup of tea and eating area. Thanks again to all the staff.

A.o’keeffe, Farmleigh Waterford City, Medical Secretary Diploma
Great staff, courses are easy to follow and I love that you can do them at your own pace! Very handy when you’re working full time and have small kids at home! Couldn’t say a bad word about them
Ailish Keating Co. Waterford
Pitman Training has reignited my interest in learning which had gone stale since finishing college. Due to working full-time, the course was perfect to do in my own time with Pitman giving support by email and in person if I needed it. I would highly recommend the course and the company. Thanks for all your help
K. Croke, Waterford City, Server Support Tech Diploma Student
In January, I decided to make a change to my life and I started the Medical Secretary Diploma course with Pitman Training Waterford. To date, I have found the course very good and thorough. I do most of the training in the facility. This is a lovely, quiet area with a canteen, all very clean and well looked after. The team there are so friendly and really helpful, I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Best move I’ve made in a long time!!
