Hi Drahe, I agree with RP and The Beagle, some good points have been made here, have a chat to other therapists in your area and ask where they trained, i get asked sometimes, and i am more than willing to have a chat with them and point them in the right direction.
Hope this helps.
If you want to work in a salon/spa, with the NHS/Government or use the courses to get into further education at college they are not usually recognised or accepted. However, you can usually use the practitioner level ones to set up your own private business as long as you get insurance first.
Hi drahe1 i have done quite a few online courses in different therapies but i have only done them as personal/self development and did not set up a business. In my experience/opinion i dont think they would really prepare you for working confidently with the paying public and you might struggle to get insurance. I have done others with recognised colleges where there was hands on experience and i think they were by far much better. I dont have direct experience with the company you mention but did mine with another one who is also mention here quite often. I loved the on line courses and love practicing on my friends and family but i do think that online courses can really only be theoretical and if not undertaken as a hobby or leisure may actually not be worth the money.
Again this is only my opinion others may disagree. I would agree with angelic Light and view them as a stepping stone.
Love and Light

I have done a few courses with BSY and have started my own Massage business. After qualifying you would need to get indemnity insurance first but it is certainly possible. I met another lady on the practical training day who had her own practice thanks to her BSY courses. I would recommend them, full of info and practical training days where necessary. A flexible way of doing it I think, and some of the courses carry university credits.

OMG!!!!! Our industry definitely need reconsideration and all therapists must resit normal practical and theory incl pathology and anatomy and related medical theories...
This is real shame that business with one day training can exists....
From other point of view - this increases my job and my quality level incl my therapies fit my patients
