Confidence. Capability. Success.
Building the digital capability people need to succeed.
At Putty, we build digital capability that helps people and organisations succeed in today’s workplace.
We work with individuals and businesses to develop confidence, capability, and readiness to thrive in modern digital environments.
Our approach is practical and hands-on. Instead of teaching isolated computer skills, we focus on the systems, tools, and workflows people use every day — helping learners gain confidence they can apply immediately and independently.
We support people transitioning from hands-on roles into office work, returning after a break, upskilling, or exploring a career change. Programmes are tailored to meet learners where they are and build capability that sticks.
Delivery is flexible to suit real lives and workplaces: 1:1 coaching, small groups, in-house programmes, remote, onsite and hybrid learning, and workshops.
At Putty, we’re more than trainers — we’re partners in building practical digital confidence and workplace capability, helping individuals and teams improve employability, productivity, and efficiency.

“At REAP Marlborough, our collaboration with Putty Training has been incredibly beneficial.
For our last two administrative hires, we turned directly to Putty to see if any of their trainees would be a good fit for our roles.
The team at Putty truly understands both our skill requirements and our organisational culture.
We have successfully hired two administrators who completed their courses through Putty, and we couldn’t be happier with the results, they are an awesome addition and fit within our team."
