Singapore

Singapore is commonly referred to as one of the four Asian Tiger economies, known for being highly free and developed and having experienced rapid growth over a sustained period of time.

A huge and diverse city-state, Singapore is one of the world’s major commercial hubs, with the fourth-biggest financial centre and one of the five busiest ports. Its globalised and diversified economy depends heavily on trade, has the third-highest per capita income in the world and is well known for it's exceptionally high standard of living. It places highly in international rankings with regard to education, healthcare, government transparency, and economic competitiveness making it a prime location for a number of Pitman Training centres this year.

Owing to its historical links to the UK, and its position as a major global centre for trade, the English language is an important link that ties together the diverse ethnic groups that make up Singapore. It is the main language of education and business, and is widely spoken throughout the country as the first language of much of the population and a strong second in most others.

The appetite for quality education has meant that Singapore is widely recognised as having one of the most qualified workforces in the world. There is a huge opportunity therefore for the Pitman name to help colleges or private training companies to stand out from the crowd. Our courses will help students to learn how the key skills that are so crucial in many of the large multinational companies that are located in Singapore.

We are looking for high calibre education partners that are keen to expand their offering to include Pitman Training courses, and also larger establishments that are seeking to take on the Pitman Training franchise opportunity to grow it across Singapore.
