I am writing to share my deepest…

I am writing to share my deepest feedback and express my profound gratitude to the entire Learndirect team. Completing this course has been one of the most challenging yet rewarding journeys of my life, and I quite simply could not have done it without your support. As a single mother working two jobs, balancing my family, work, and studies felt almost impossible at times. There were many moments where the pressure became too much, and I honestly came so close to giving up entirely. However, the incredible support I received kept me going. I want to give a massive, heartfelt shout-out to Andrew Stean. I know I was constantly nagging him, repeatedly asking for extensions to submit my assignments when life got overwhelming. Andrew, your endless patience, kindness, and understanding meant the world to me during my darkest and most stressful weeks. You never made me feel like a burden, and your encouragement kept me moving forward. I also want to give a special shout-out and thank you to the Head of Faculty, Wendy Lomas. When my course officially came to an end and the system closed, I was devastated. But Wendy stepped in and provided the critical extension I needed to resubmit my very last assignment. That single act of compassion saved all my hard work and allowed me to finally reach the finish line. Thank you, Learndirect, for not just being an educational platform, but for showing true humanity and flexibility for working mothers. You have helped me change my future, and I will be forever grateful. With LearnDirect you will never go wrong, guys keep on the fire burning. X Thenjie Nkomo
