What do people say about our massage courses?

Are you thinking of enrolling with a home study college?  If you are, then you may be interested in reading feedback from students who have enrolled previously.  This can help you learn more about studying with the college and decide what subjects to take.  To help with your decisions, here are some comments from students who have enrolled with BSY.

Karen Richards enrolled on the hot stone massage course from BSY.  She chose that subject as ‘it seemed a natural progression from other courses I had done and I wanted to practice at my local therapy centre.  I was also very interested in this therapy.’  Karen decided to learn with BSY as ‘the lessons are easy to follow and there is no pressure to complete by a certain time, so the courses fit in to my lifestyle.’  Karen feels that the hot stone massage course will help her ‘become a successful therapist and make me feel good about myself’.  Karen feels that studying with BSY led to a change in her career as she is ‘successfully practicing hot stones in a therapy centre’.  Karen agrees that ‘studying with BSY is convenient’ and that ’the BSY course advisors are helpful’.

Rachel Bailey decided to study aromatherapy with BSY.  Rachel took this one as ‘I enjoy aromatherapy and relaxation’.  She wanted to enrol with BSY because ‘of good feedback on website, reviews, convenient payments, course content’.  Rachel explains that on her aromatherapy course, she has been most happy with the ‘timeliness in marking and getting papers back to me’.  Rachel agrees that ‘BSY courses are excellent value for money’.

Tiffany Roberts chose to enrol on the massage course.   She chose this topic as ‘I have been interested in massage for many years.  I am too old for a free course at college and the price for this course was reasonable’.  Tiffany chose to study with BSY as ‘the price was reasonable, I can pay monthly and I can do it in my own time.’  She has been most happy with ‘how quick the next lesson is sent to me along with my grade’.  In future, Tiffany would consider studying the ‘beauty, make-up and reflexology’ courses.  Tiffany agrees that she ‘would recommend BSY to a friend’ and ‘studying with BSY is enjoyable’.

Student comments on our counselling courses

Receiving feedback from our students can offer us a fascinating insight into what people think of our courses.  It’s not just useful for ourselves though – many of those who are thinking of studying with us can gain the benefit of reading the feedback too.  It can help them decide which areas to choose and what they could do when they successfully complete their studies.

Carol Paul chose to study psychotherapy – which can be found in the counselling courses section of the website.  Carol chose this subject as ‘I am already a counsellor and wanted to continue into psychotherapy’.  She decided to study with BSY as ‘when I first started I was recovering from a serious accident so I could not return to my previous work, nor could I travel to study.  Home courses were convenient and BSY have a good range to choose from.’  Carol has been most happy with ‘the full range of content within the course material’.  The course may help her in the future to be ‘a fully educated psychotherapist with a wide knowledge, able to be really useful and helpful to my clients.’  To those thinking of studying with BSY, Carol said ‘I would suggest that they really give the BSY courses real consideration.  I feel that the BSY assignments are thorough and fully equal to any other.  Being able to do the assignments as and when you can is a real bonus as people have other calls on their time and the BSY never pesters anyone with deadlines or due dates, which makes the courses comfortable to do.’  Carol agrees that ‘BSY courses are excellent value for money’.

Louise Hartshorn decided to study herbalism (one of our complementary therapy courses).  Louise decided to take the course as ‘I’ve always been interested in herbalism and have used it for myself over the years, but I wanted to take this interest further.’  Louise decided to study with BSY because ‘the course was the best for me and I have many other commitments that required me to learn at distance’.  Thinking about her complementary therapy course, she has been most happy with ‘feeling my brain waking up’.  Louise said that the course may help her in the future ‘to continue with learning more and extending my knowledge into a profession’.  Louise agrees that ‘studying with BSY is convenient’ and that ‘the BSY course advisors are helpful’.
