I think that Stonebridge are pretty good. I'm doing some theory-based stuff with them. Many of their's are accredited to Diploma level (level 5 doovy whatsits). You can elect to submit all your stuff via email/online - rather than print-and-post it, as they offered 5 years ago... when I did it with them first time around. This means you can generally get your assignments graded within a day or two. And you can start on the next lesson straight away, rather than wait for them to post the next lecture to you - which was rubbish cos you'd be waiting for some wifey to come back from holidays/sickleave and it was so slow.
As far as which specific courses - well, that'll depend on what you are interested in.
There'll be people here who pooh-pooh online distance learning. But I'd ignore them. I'm currently taken a face-to-face course, and several online courses (for CPD/general knowledge, rather than to practise) - and there is no difference to sitting in front of someone as they read their powerpoints to you, and sitting at home and reading lecture notes you've downloaded and then emailing your tutor any questions you have. Except, of course, about £2000 in course fees and tens of hours of travel time ;-).
It's common sense, of course, to not take something like massage or reflexology or ear candling via online distance learning. And it's also common sense to check with the relevant insurance folk that the course you take will accredit you to a level which allows you to practise, and be insurable.
Good luck - when you find the right course you'll love it!
