It was a pleasure chatting with Courtney today. I think she is a credit to Learn Direct. She was exceptional in the way she spoke and carried herself throughout the 60 minute fone call very well. She was extremely friendly and you could hear in her voice her ability to lift the conversation to be engaging and had a genuine interest in my needs. She was thorough in explaining the process and was not put off by all the questions I had. Nothing came across as too much of a problem and very patient if I needed something repeating
