I know this is an old post but I wanted to add my review as this is one of the first places that comes up on google search and I want people to know about BSY group
After spending out over £1000 in courses gaining qualifications while on benefits while I was ill with agoraphobia and ptsd and having just signed up for another course I have just found out from one of the top universities in the uk that there are no academic value to any of these courses at bsy, universities, colleges and many work places and insurance companies do not acknowledge these as qualifications.
I am so upset as I wasted so much of my money thinking that they would help me improve my life for college and university etc but sadly they are just expensive pieces of paper.
I still have 8 months left to pay off my installments but there is no point in doing the course as they have no value in the real world
Sadly bsy are another of these homelearning courses where its all about the money and its a shame as I thought they were different from a lot of the rip off ones.
If you want to do an online course find one that has an academic value and that can be useful for the future dont waste money on a piece of paper

Sorry to hear you've spent so much money on BSY.
Just to confirm, I've struggled to get insurance for any online course (I don't just mean BSY) - I guess it's because they can't guarantee the quality of learning even if the tuition is good. My insurance company has said that they do not cover any online courses.
HOWEVER, from a knowledge perspective, if you know the quality of the tuition is good then it is worthwhile learning. It can also help you to decide if you really want to pursue the relevant career or take up further study. If you compare such online courses to reading a book, they are far more engaging than any book on the topic you want to learn about.
So, I would continue with the courses that you've paid for to accumulate the knowledge and understanding.
Personally, despite this, I've already signed up to some courses on Udemy.
I'm interested in studying Nutrition, as a Kitchen Manager, and someone who potentially wants to open my own 'health' conscious cafe, I ideally want to have some proper studying under my belt. I've read books, but I'd like to take my understanding to the next level. I've looked around the internet, but I'm bombarded with info, and I was hoping someone out there can give me a clue!
Is the BSY group nutrition course worthwhile? How about any other courses in the Leeds area?
All opinions will be greatfully received!
