I had some difficulties navigating my way through the process of adding a top up course onto my account, I had previously been told conflicting information about how I go about this from previous customer services advisors at learn direct, fortunately I spoke to Sam, who was very helpful on the process, he also followed this up with an email after, which was greatly appreciated. He was efficient with his information and time and it allowed me to add my top up course, after some previous teething issues.

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
