Good straightforward course content.

Had enrolled in one other similar course with another school but, writing essays turned out to be very stressful and overwhelming for me.
Started my Footcare Specialist course with BSY in September 2024, finished the theory part of the course before Christmas and then did the practical in the last week of February 2025.
Within a couple of weeks with the help of a friend got my first 3 customers.

The BSY Group has been an excellent experience. Studying at my own pace was so awesome, especially since l have a son with special needs. This was so practical not having to worry about deadlines was so relieving. Tutors at the other end of the line is simple. Finally qualified as a Nutritional Practitioner is so rewarding and cannot wait to set up on my own from home. Currently few modules away from Homeopathic course enjoying and learned so much. Will 100% study again once l complete my other course and 100% recommenced to others. Keep up the great work

READ THE SMALL PRINT

I have been doing various courses with this company over 10 years and have had good results. However, when I sent in my last final exam paper course on-line they sent back an email asking for £40 to mark the paper. I questioned them about it as I was quite shocked being asked for money. They said as it had been over a certain amount of years I had been studying this course (over 3 years approximately) I would have to pay an extra £40. It appears in their terms and conditions in small print, so you cannot really see it. I feel they have not been upfront with me about this payment and have showed no empathy to me and did not make it clear to me about this earlier in my course. I have decided not to deal with this company in future as they have not been honest with me, and they do not seem to care that I have been putting in the hard work on this course.

I contacted this company for information regarding their courses which I did not proceed with. However, it has been over a year and they keep texting me their offers. I have replied to the number provided for them to STOP MESSAGING ME. BUT IT CONTINUES. A TOTAL NUISANCE. GLAD I DID NOT ENROL IN ANY COURSES AS I CAN IMAGINE IT WOULD BE HELL.

Accredited Qualification!

Kim, understood nature of my health condition & greatly helped / support every step of the way prior September 2023! I would NOT have completed the course within the time frame! I'll be able to implement my certificate within my support network! I'm looking forward to starting the Level 3 NCFE PT hopefully when the updated course is released soon! By sometime next year I hope to gain that Diploma & be able to do something I enjoy and, hold a secure job sharing the theory & practical journey continually helping myself & coming to one with others to help their goals! The staff are generally very friendly & I feel cater to individual circumstances in a professional way!

I took the NLP Life Skills Coaching course

I took the NLP Life Skills Coaching course. I found the professionalism of the team and the tutors exemplary . People were always happy to help at the end of the phone.
The course material was clear and questions after each assignment were well designed to test your learning and to make sure you understood each concept.
This course has made me feel confident to expand my work to include NLP . Thank you

Nutrition course

Great! Well written course. Thought provoking and packs in a lot of content. I took years to complete this as I had a major upheaval or two during that time. BSY were very understanding and still let me complete it . Would recommend

I decided to go for holistic vet

I decided to go for holistic vet as I already did a good few courses on dog breeding, Reika healing and dog genetics and dietition understanding. So it sounded like the topping on the cake to get to where I wanted to be. I studied all these courses through Apex learning, very good, stimulating, fun to learn. But there was no vetenary type courses there. Found BSY and hoped this course would do the trick, how wrong I was. It's so incredibly boring. Its all claivoyance and crystals and phycic thought waves. What? Some of it makes sense but mostly makes me feel like I'm in training to summon the dead It will be the ouija board next, nothing about herbal medicine for animals , I have no enthusiasm to pick it up and feel like I've been robbed of money for nothing.
I got my own holistic vet bible and have made more personal progress on my own through studies and have successfuly treated and cured all the families dogs and cats of their ailments by researching and making up ointments and shampoos and diet changes etc, so who really needs the course ?
They should provide a complete in depth overview of everything the course covers before starting it. Guess I have to complete it eventually even though its no fun and has conitations of spiritulism I don't agree with or there will be no certificate to make it a legit reason for me to go outside the family and treat other people's pets. My advice though is stick with a more reputable company and ask for a complete overview of everything in the course.

We are sorry to hear that this student has found this course is not suitable for their needs.
The above reviewer enrolled onto our Holistic Animal Healing course in June 2023 and, according to our records, has received the initial study pack which contains welcome information, the first two lessons of the course and includes a full breakdown of the course syllabus. Remaining lessons are then provided upon receipt of each assignment submission. To date, we have no record of receiving an assignment submission.
Prior to enrolment our website contains the syllabus for each of our courses in order to give potential students a comprehensive overview of the course before they make the commitment to study. There is also a 14 day cooling off period in which student can return their course and receive a full refund should they decide after reviewing the initial materials that the course is not for them.
BSY has been established for almost 78 years’ and we endeavor to provide quality courses which are of value to our students. As part of our efforts, we have also obtained recognition by a number of reputable external awarding bodies and associations which ensure that we also meet their expectations in our course delivery. The course in question has been granted the Certificate of Achievement at QLS Level 3 – The Quality Licence Scheme (QLS), endorses high-quality, non-regulated provision and training programmes. We therefore strongly disagree with the student’s comment which implies that BSY is not reputable.

BSY-Psychotherapy Course

BSY has enabled me, through one of their Online Courses to obtain a qualification I needed to begin to set up my own Business.

BSY offer great support; easy to understand course material; useful feedback; and achieve a great balance between friendliness and professionalism.

I have just qualified as a Zen Yoga Teacher through BSY. I chose BSY as they offer nationally recognised qualifications, plus the whole course looked far more personal and well presented. I was so impressed by the course material which is actually posted to your address rather than logging online. The design of the course is beautifully presented and help, if needed, is just an email or phone call away. No robots or chat lines, but real people. Your course work is marked and returned to you and you are assigned a tutor. The course work helps you to understand the subject and there are sources for further study, which I recommend. I feel I have learned so much and found it far more enjoyable studying from paper rather than a screen. Once qualified you are able to become a member of AHCP (Association of Holistic and Complimentary Practitioners), plus there is a liability insurance cover. You also receive a certificate through the post, again delightfully presented. I highly recommend BSY for their beautifully presented course, instant access to help and advice, no pressure timelines to complete the course and their caring manner.

I have been studying with Bsy for over 15 years and completed many courses, these have helped with my career, and have been useful living a holistic lifestyle. Being able to study in my own time was invaluable as I could study around my children.
Bsy staff have always been friendly and helpful, which made my courses more enjoyable.
