Dee Greenaway most recently enrolled on the Native American Teachings course.  You can find this course within the Mind, Body, Spirit section of the website.  The reason she enrolled on this course was because ‘I want to further my interest in all things Native American.  But I plan to open a spiritual outlet/unit and want relevant courses behind me to aid in that and give confidence to my clients.’  Commenting on BSY courses, Dee said ‘I have completed several distance learning courses in the past and this BSY course is far superior in content, support, presentation and turnaround.’  Giving feedback on the BSY courses she had taken, Dee said that ‘they are well presented, easy to follow and cover a whole range of subject matter.  The turnaround time for completion/marking is excellent – highly recommended.’

Susan Snape has studied many courses with BSY.  Susan recently enrolled on the Crystal Healing – Advanced course, Homoeopathy course and Psychic Development course.  Susan said that she has ‘found them very interesting, a confidence booster and a means of relaxing.  When I have a query I found the tutors and other members of staff easy to talk to and quick to reply.’  Susan has been most happy with ‘the fact that I don’t feel alone.  Any problems and I know I will be taken seriously and dealt with quickly, efficiently and expertly, hence I keep coming back.’
