I had some difficulties navigating my way through the process of adding a top up course onto my account, I had previously been told conflicting information about how I go about this from previous customer services advisors at learn direct, fortunately I spoke to Sam, who was very helpful on the process, he also followed this up with an email after, which was greatly appreciated. He was efficient with his information and time and it allowed me to add my top up course, after some previous teething issues.
