I had a mistake happen with my end of…

I had a mistake happen with my end of course deadline, saying it ended a year earlier than it should have. Initially, the chat bot and the first response by a person I got were incredibly unhelpful and took me on a wild goose chase causing a lot of unnecessary stress over the weekend especially whilst working full time. Until today, I eventually got through to Sam at customer service and Edina (3rd time referral by the chat bot (I did both at once due to long hold times over the phone)), they both immediately sorted everything for me so 5* for them, they were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable I was expecting an argument like most customer service procedures but they were understanding and on top of everything, they immediately recognised there was a fault and went through the proper protocol to solve everything for me rapidly. I would recommend that the chat bot gets an update or more monitoring as it struggled to direct me to the right person several times and gave me the finance departments contact details, who then directed me towards the correct department.

I had such a fantastic experience

I had such a fantastic experience with Learn Direct, all thanks to Jordan! He called me and took the time to explain absolutely everything so clearly and thoroughly. He was incredibly patient, friendly, approachable and genuinely lovely to speak to. Nothing felt rushed, and he made sure I understood everything and felt comfortable every step of the way. The whole enrolment process was honestly the easiest thing ever. Jordan made everything so straightforward and stress-free, answering all my questions and making the entire experience feel effortless. It’s so refreshing to speak to someone who is not only knowledgeable and professional but also genuinely enthusiastic, helpful and welcoming. His customer service was outstanding, and he really is a credit to Learn Direct. Thank you, Jordan, for making what could have been a daunting process such a positive and easy experience. You’re an absolute star! Highly recommend!
