Studying with Pitman Training Bromley, Greenwich and Dartford gives you a great deal of flexibility and support with your learning. Our version of the Pitman diploma ("Open to the public"):
Does not have a fixed start and end date – you select the dates that suit you
Allows you to study in-centre, online or a mix of both and whatever you choose to do you have support from one of our Learning Coaches
Allows you to decide the speed at which you study and there are no fixed class times. This means you can increase or decrease the amount you study based on the time you have available.
You may see a different version of the course on the Amazon Career Choice portal. This is offered a few times a year from a centre out of the London area in Peterborough and doesn't provide you with as much flexibility as our version.
This version has a fixed start date (you don't get to choose the date)
This version is online only (unless you live in Peterborough)
The online classes take place at fixed times that may not suit you
You won't get the chance to study at the speed that suits you. This version requires students to keep up with the other students who started at the same time.
Our approach is useful for people who need flexibility or who have shifts that can change.
Start
Log in to the Amazon Career Choice Portal
Log in to the Amazon A to Z and go to “Resources”
Scroll down to the Amazon Career Choice Portal
Find “Pitman Training UK”
Important - Look for the available programmes that have “Format” set to “Open to the public”. This is the programme of study we offer and which provides the greatest flexibility so you can study at your pace and at a time that works for you.
Select the one you want. If an “Open to the public" version of the diploma you wish to follow is not showing select “Advanced Office Skills” and we will correct at our end.
Confirm that you have been accepted onto our programme
Choose “Pitman Training UK” as the school to be paid
Depending on your selection, the system will show
Future career is “Human Resources Specialist / IT Technician / Data Analyst / Junior Accountant etc”.
Field of study is “Business and Administration” or “Information Technology”
When prompted for Start Date, enter a date a few days in the future from today’s date (this may not be easy to do on a mobile device but please make sure that you do this. Call or email us if you are having problems with this).
For 'End Date', enter a date around 8-12 months in the future - for example if today's date is 21 December 2023 then you can select 30 April 2024 as the 'End Date'
If asked have you been accepted by the School say ‘Yes’
Continue to Step 2 below
Step 1
Conditional approval from Amazon
On completing the Amazon Career Choice application process, you should receive "Conditional Approval” from Amazon, either immediately or by email
If you receive immediately then continue the process, which will prompt you to read information on your obligations and to sign electronically a “Student Release Form”
You need to eSign the "Student Release Form". Make sure you follow the instructions you are given by the Amazon site.
Once eSigned you need to send us a copy of the "Student Release Form".
This might be sent to your personal email address. Look for an email with the "Student Release Form" attached as a PDF. Forward the email you have received to us at: bromley@pitman-training.com (if you can do it this way it's the easiest way to complete this step)
You may have to download your own copy of the "Student Release Form" and email this to: bromley@pitman-training.com
Step 2
We need to confirm your acceptance
Send us your AMAZON EMPLOYEE ID number so we can find you on the website we use
Email a PDF copy of your ‘Student Release Form’ to us (see Step 2 above)
We will confirm your acceptance to Amazon
Amazon normally pays its share of the tuition fees by the start date
You make an initial payment for that part of the fees which you have to pay. We usually ask for your part of the tuition fees to be paid over 3 or 4 months (this depends on the amount for the course you have chosen).
Step 3
Enrolment
We enrol you
We will arrange an induction meeting. This can be online or at our centre. You will learn how to use our systems and the learning materials and resources for your course. We want to make sure that you can study without any problems so please use the induction session to ask any questions you have about using our system.
You will be able to get help from one of our Learning Coaches during the time you are studying with us.
You have started taking steps toward your new career!
