Today, in this world of fast-food and the growing problem of obesity in the very young, we are becoming increasingly aware of the need for a healthy diet and regular exercise. There are a growing number of BSY students studying both fields for, either their own needs, or to help and advise others.

Hear a few of our students’ reasons and comments.Crystal Iglikowski is a health care worker studying the BSY Nutrition course who is dedicated to expanding her knowledge so that she can help others to see healthy eating in a new light, to help prevent illness and to educate our younger generation. Crystal reports that she found that her studies fitted excellently into her lifestyle as she works full-time. She finds her course to be good and at an affordable price. Crystal was due to get married in July and we send her and her new husband our congratulations.

Another student studying nutrition courses is Esther Marie Bird who wanted to learn more about our health and what we do to our bodies with unhealthy eating. She has studied both BSY Nutritional Therapy and Nutrition courses and wants to continue with BSY Eating Disorders Part One and Part Two together with Eating Disorders Family Therapy as she is now working within that field. Esther says that the tutors have ‘been amazing’ and staff on the phones are ‘all very nice’. Thank you for your kind words, Esther.

Charlotte Barber wanted to improve her knowledge in order to offer help and support, particularly in the area of Nutrition and Weight Consultancy. She says that BSY have proved to be a good choice because she has been able to study at home at her own pace, without worrying. She says that the support from the tutors has been great and that they are always happy to answer her questions. She wishes to follow her training with BSY’s Nutritional Therapy, Personal Fitness Training and Sports Psychology courses. Her advice to anyone thinking of studying with BSY is ‘Do it! The courses are well priced, offer great choice, offer freedom to study at home and in your own time and open up fantastic opportunities.’

Studying nutrition courses is an ideal way of achieving better health, preventing illness or helping the body to maximise its healing potential at times of ill-health. We can then take that knowledge and experience into the field of therapy if we choose.  We invite you to browse our range of complementary therapy courses on our website.

Studying a new subject can be an exciting opportunity to learn useful skills and develop an interest in a fascinating topic.  If you are thinking of studying a topic that interests you then you may be keen to learn more about it from those who have enrolled previously.  We therefore wanted to share with you some of the feedback we have received from some students who have taken our reflexology courses and life coaching courses.

Tracy Pickering enrolled on our reflexology course.  She chose to study this subject as ‘I am already qualified in beauty therapy and Hopi ear candling, and wanted to add reflexology to my list of qualifications, to be able to offer this to my clients’.  Tracy decided to study her course with BSY as ‘they are the UK’s No.1 complementary therapy home study college, and I can study from the comfort of my own home at my own pace’.  She has been most happy with the ‘content of my course and also the structure’.  Tracy agrees that she would ‘recommend BSY to a friend’ and that ‘BSY courses are excellent value for money’.

BSY can also help you learn more about other topics too, including Life Coaching/Life Skills.

Karen MacPhee chose to enrol on the NLP Life Skills Coaching course.  She took this as ‘it is a subject I’ve been interested in for a while.  I’m a stay-at-home mum at the moment and wanted to do something for me personally but that I could use when I return to work.  I’ve enjoyed using my brain cells again but fitting it around bringing up my son.’  Karen decided to enrol with BSY as ‘I liked that there was no time commitment, that it easily fits into my life.  I also liked so many of the courses offered by BSY and that it is a holistic training provider.  It seemed like good value for money as well.’  With this course, Karen has been most happy with ‘how well BSY studying fits into my life. The course material and how already it is starting to change my ways of thinking – in a positive way! I was over the moon with my first results and that has just motivated me even more.’  Thinking about her studies, Karen feels it may help her in the future to ‘identify some key goals in a few areas of my life, and the positive attitude and skills to achieve them’. The advice Karen would give to someone who may be thinking of studying with BSY is ‘just go for it!… it’s been worth it as it has given me another focus in life, increased my motivation, confidence, interest.’

Karen agrees that ‘the BSY course advisors are helpful’ and that ‘studying with BSY is convenient’.

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’.
