HEAR FROM OUR PAST STUDENTS
The platform is easy to use: I have no problems uploading sheets to the portal and the email is stress-free. My tutor is quick to reply and mark my assignments and is really helpful in her feedback.
She provides constructive criticism and tells me where I have missed the mark so I know where I should be aiming for and how to improve.
I knew that I wanted to return to education, but I needed to find a college that offered distance learning qualifications. I had to fit studying around my family life and work commitments. I chose learndirect Careers because my course could be completed entirely online, without having to attend any timetabled sessions. My initial enquiry was responded to very quickly by learndirect Careers and all the staff that I have dealt with have been extremely friendly.
I enjoyed the course a lot and all the modules were informative. It has made me fall in love with hospitality even more now that I have the knowledge that I need. I’m looking forward to starting a job in the industry.
The course was very interesting and explained everything clearly using the latest materials. I am a hotelier, but several of the topics were new for me, and I enjoyed learning them with learndirect.
