My experience to enroll and study Maths and English functional skills online.

My experience with the learndirect was really good. The staff who assisted me with my enrolment was kind, respectful and patient. He also explained to me well on English and Maths functional skills that interest me and also the different ways of the courses paying. Overall, good customer service.
