My enrolment advisor was peter

My enrolment advisor was peter, he explained everything thoroughly from start to finish. Any questions I had, he had the answer too! - I left the phone call enrolled on to a HE course, feeling confident and ready for a new chapter! And that’s thanks to Peter!

had such a great experience speaking…Amazing support from Samuel at Learn Direct

I had such a great experience speaking with Samuel at Learn Direct. He was kind, informative, and incredibly patient. He explained everything thoroughly that I needed to know about the online nursing course, including the payment methods and how the course works, and answered all my questions with no rush at all. He was also really encouraging about my aspirations to get into higher education and made me feel much more confident about taking this step.Thank you so much Samuel for your support! PS. I may need that sweet potato burrito bowl recipe we spoke about! XD

I spoke to Daniel S

I spoke to Daniel S; even though he is new to this job, he was able to explain things to me and answer all my questions. I am the type of person who does not have her phone most of the time, but he did not lose hope in contacting me.
