Fantastic customer service

After searching about different courses, I decided to go with one from Learning Direct. I recieved excellent customer service from Harley Rowe, who went above and beyond. Not only did he explain everything in detail and answer all of my questions in depth, he even arranged for a follow up phone call after I stated I needed a few days to make sure the coourse was for me. The level of professionalism was maintained at the highest standard, and a very warm welcoming from the team there. I couldn't recommend this company enough, as they really do everything possible to make enrollment and starting manageable and straight-forward. No hidden fees either, as everything is honestly written out as well as explained further when requested. Their call-back feature impressed me as well, as only a short time after I requested a call to discuss the course, my phone was already ringing - even on a weekend. Highly impressed, these are just a few positive attributes I'd like to express in a review. If anyone is considering taking a course with Learning Direct and needs some guidance - reach out to the team as I would recommend them to anyone!

Excellent service from start to finish

Excellent service from start to finish. The advisor, Abraham Adekoya, who spoke with me explained everything in detail and made sure I understood. He was professional, helpful, and very encouraging. I feel confident and ready to start my course. I highly recommended.

Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service! Danyal talked me through all aspects of the course: learning and marking structure. I felt fully looked after and equipped to make the right decision on course and payment plans. Thanks so much for your help! I now look forward to the next step of starting my new course!

Great experience with Laura

Laura was absolutely brilliant and so helpful throughout everything. She took the time to explain everything clearly and spoke slowly and clearly, which made it really easy for me to understand and follow along. She gave me lots of useful tips and advice, made sure I understood all the different options available to me, and never made anything feel rushed. She also went above and beyond by helping me get free trials and discounts, which I really appreciated. Laura was patient, friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely seemed to care about making sure I got the best experience possible. I couldn’t have asked for better help and would definitely recommend her. Thank you so much, Laura! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
