The Pitman Training centre in Cambridge has been named "Exam Centre of the Year" by the Institute of Certified Book-keepers.

The Institute chose to officially recognise the achievements of the Pitman Training Centre in Cambridge after it recently hosted an ICB exam.

Garry Carter, chief executive of the ICB said: "As soon as we read the students comments we decided that that the excellent work undertaken by the team at the Pitman Training centre in Cambridge should be officially recognised.

"We have never received so many positive responses about a single centre before with most candidates stating that it was a ‘professional environment’ with ‘very friendly’ people. "

John Ciborowski, manager of the Pitman Training centre in Cambridge said: "We are especially proud of this achievement as it was gained as a direct result from the feedback received from students."
