Solid training, half the price but you have to put up with the niggles
Very accessible course due to the number of locations and good coverage of the theories and subjects important for qualification. The course does not meet the minimum number of contact hours for full registration but they offer a further year with more in-depth training of important wider issues which is valuable. You have to be very disciplined and self-motivated because there is a lot to learn outside the classroom hours, and able to do this sort of distance learning as well as in-person commitments. If you are not happy with the tutor you can switch easily to another location which is good - class sizes and tutor quality can vary but you can get excellent tutors and the course is half the cost of elsewhere. Personal therapy is optional but strongly encouraged and will probably be necessary to secure a placement. Like many providers, their internal dashboard for materials etc is chaotic and has much room for improvement but the content is all there and the official support services are friendly and helpful although you may have to wait a day or two, but the whatsapp groups of fellow students your course inevitably has are good for emergency help.
