Huge thank you

I would like to say a huge thank you to Chris for making the enrolment process so straightforward and stress-free. I was feeling very nervous about signing up because I haven’t studied for over 25 years and I’m returning to education as a single parent while working in the NHS. Chris was patient, knowledgeable and incredibly supportive throughout. He explained everything clearly, answered all of my questions, and never made me feel rushed or pressured. Chris is a real credit to learndirect, and I hope this feedback is passed on to him because he has made a lasting positive impression. Thank you for helping me begin my journey towards becoming a nurse.
