Identity Theft

Identity theft is not a new crime, it is probably as old as crime itself, it was until not so long ago known as impersonation.

At the present moment it is estimated that one in four will be a victim of identity theft in the next twelve months and an estimated five hundred percent increase will occur in growth annually.

The results of identity theft can be devastating for the victim. We tend to think of financial loss when we think of becoming a victim of this crime; this though is only part of the many problems that may come about.

This course aims to make the student aware of the different types of identity theft that are currently employed as well as how to identity the signs of identity theft and ways and means of reducing the risk of identity theft.

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.

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
