Pitman Training has been long-established in Scotland, with our longest serving centre being present for over 31 years.
We currently have five different training centres located around Scotland - Aberdeen, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Forres and Inverness. We know it's not always easy to get to a centre, particularly if you live in the remote Highlands, the outer Hebrides or even the borders for example so; if this is the case, or you simply don't have the time to get to a centre, don't forget we can offer training by distance learning using the 'Pitman Campus' our online learning platform.
