    Advantages Advantages gain qualifications to put on your cv,could start your own business

    Disadvantages Disadvantages need motivation,no contact when enrolling over internet

    BSY has been around for quite a while now. They are one of the biggest distance learning colleges around, specialising in alternative health and complementary therapies. Thousands of people just like you and me choose BSY to help them achieve their lifelong goals. Some people even use their qualifications to start their own business. Even companies use BSY to train their employees. But there are also people who have never heard of BSY and shamefully I have to admit I was one of those people. *** How I came to find BSY *** I have been out of work for just over a year now. Actually I was never ... more

    Advantages Advantages So many courses!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages You've got to motivate yourself!

    BSY offers over 250 courses for anyone to undertake at home (though some do require a final examination in a particular place). When I decided to get my life in order I looked for the cheapest and best place to do Pet Psychology and BSY won, so I rang them up and the really nice lady offered me a 2 for 1 deal and I'm now doing Holistic Animal Healing also. Now, I'm not the most motivated person in the world - bear in mind I started this in Jan 2006! Anyway, I've finally sent off my final examinations and hopefully I'll receive qualifications soon. Everything I received and needed for the ... more

    Advantages Advantages Flexible, helpful and friendly staff

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    I have studied a few courses with BSY, including Reiki and I thought the course materials were great! I attended the attunement in Devon and this was really useful. I live in Kent, and while it was a long trip to attend the attunement, I saw it as an important of my course, I even made a short break of it! The tutors are really good and if I had any queries on my marked papers I just called them up and they took me through it. Overall I think the BSY courses are excellent and the staff there are friendly and helpful. I’ve never had to wait longer than a week for my marked papers, well worth ... more

    Advantages Advantages none

    Disadvantages Disadvantages poor customer service, basic course material, misselling the course

    I signed up for a Reiki1 course since I thought doing the theory at home first would prepare me better for the practical attunement. Since I have a rather busy job I called the BSY group to find out whehter I can have the attunement done in London which they confirmed. However, once I finished on the theory and called up to book my attunement they said it can only be done in Devon! They have completely mis-sold the course to me. Travelling from London to Devon + accomodation would have cost me more then the entire course (+time off work too!) I then asked for a solution or compensation, to ... more

    Advantages Advantages none

    Disadvantages Disadvantages they are just interested in your money

    I signed up for a Reiki 1 course. As soon as I received the first lesson, I realized I had made a mistake. In my opinion, the content of these lessons is poor, vague, badly structured. I had to spend a long time on the Web to get more information and understand the subject. Obviously the person who wrote the lessons did the same... For each of my papers, I had the impression the correction had been hurried: no real feedback, no helpful comments. After the final exam, I had to email them a number of times, first to get the results, then to get my certificate. Very poor communication overall. A ... more
