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’.

At BSY, we always enjoy reading the feedback of those who are taking our complementary therapy and counselling courses.  We also feel that it can help fellow students as well as offering valuable words of advice to those thinking of studying with us.

Helena Fae Dyson enrolled on the Eating Disorders (Part 1) course and the Basic Counselling course.  She chose to study them as ‘I was interested in the subject area and it would help me in my work/future career choice’.  Helena decided to enrol with BSY as ‘the courses are broken down in to manageable chunks and there is no pressure to finish each module.  There are a wide variety of interesting subjects available and you get our what you want to put in to the course.’  So far, Helena has been most happy with the ‘feedback written under most of my answers’ which  ‘have given me encouragement and different ways of presenting answers – such as labelled medical diagrams.’  Helena feels that these courses will help her to ‘progress on to a different career path and support my practice in my current role as a front line women’s support worker’.  If you are thinking of studying with BSY then Helena would say that ‘this is a fantastic way of juggling studying with employment and family life.  I am a single mum and have no support with my children so if issues pop up I can put my studies on hold – avoiding the stress of deadlines having a knock on effect on my course work, job and home life.  All courses are manageable-sized modules and confidence builds as you progress.’  Helena agrees that she ‘would recommend BSY to a friend’ and that ‘BSY courses are excellent value for money’.

Valerie Goose chose the Homeopathy course (one of our complementary therapy courses).  Valerie chose this course as ‘I am interested in “natural health” and wanted to enhance my knowledge so that I can offer my clients the best choices for their health as well as helping myself and my family’.  Valerie decided to study with BSY as ‘it has a good reputation and is well established.  Also I am able to study in my own time and that fits in with my other commitments.’  She has been most happy with ‘the standard of the lessons which don’t overload you with lots of unnecessary information’.  To those who may be thinking of studying with BSY, Valerie says ‘go for it.  You have nothing to lose and a lot to gain, and you will enjoy it too.’  Valerie agrees that ‘studying with BSY is convenient and that ‘the BSY course advisors are helpful’.

Whether you’re interested in a reflexology course, yoga course, or other home study courses, it can be useful to read the opinions of those who have taken a similar path.  We have received feedback from two of our family of students who have chosen to study with us and thought it would help to share their opinions with you.

Paula Smith has chosen to enrol on the pre- and post-natal Yoga teacher course.  She decided on this Yoga course as she is ‘already a Yoga teacher, qualified through BSY.  I have taught a number of pregnant students and thought that they would benefit more from a course specifically geared to their needs.’  Paula chose to study with BSY as ‘it lets me study to my own timetable, of great benefit when working.  Also the tutors are only a phone call away.  Payment in instalments is also a bonus!’  Thinking about her pre- and post-natal Yoga course, Paula felt it may help her to ‘practice Yoga for pre- and post-natal students, with confidence and a comprehensive knowledge of their needs and abilities’.  Paula’s advice to others is that ‘I would thoroughly recommend studying with BSY.  All of my courses have been extremely informative and enjoyable to do.  I can honestly say that studying with BSY has changed my life.  I am now offering several Yoga classes a week and am able to offer Yoga therapy to students who need individual attention.’

Elizabeth Biggs decided to take the BSY reflexology course.  She chose this course after ‘having read into reflexology I found an interest.  During my late husband’s illness I found that rubbing certain parts of his feet relieved the pain.’  Elizabeth explained that she decided to study her reflexology course with BSY as ‘I went on the internet and your college came up… After reading about you, I decided that you would be my choice.’  Thinking about her reflexology course, she has been most happy with ‘…the knowledge that I have gained and, after my final exam and practical, hope to put into practice.’  In the future, the course may help Elizabeth to ‘be able to reduce my hours in my present job as it involves a lot of travelling, and combine it with reflexology’.  The advice Elizabeth would give to those thinking of studying with BSY is to ‘go for it.  When I first called you I received all the help I could have asked for – and any problems you dealt with them immediately in a very helpful manner.  And you also have a large choice of courses to choose from.’ You can learn more about our reflexology course or Yoga course by calling our course advisors on Freephone 0800 731 9271 or 01409 220 400.
