Chrysalis courses Reviews

My tutor was great and the course was just what I needed but would have appreciated the time table to have more person development group time with my peers. Communication from then office was not always clear and up to date.

I have been reluctant to leave a review as my experience with Chrysalis hasn’t been positive. The first two years of tutoring were of low standard and having been to classes in other areas of the country, it is evident that your experience will be dependent on the tutor. The quality of tutor varies widely. I’ve had nothing but barriers put in my way by the organisation with regards to placements. Chrysalis sells itself as a provider who can support your studies alongside full time working which has not been my experience. They say you get what you pay for. Chrysalis was the cheapest provider when I joined the course and the course absolutely reflects this. I am still considering moving to a different provider even though I am only months away from completion. I would not continue my studies with chrysalis and if I had my time again I would choose a different provider.

I have just completed the first year Diploma in Hypnotherapy and Introduction to Counselling Skills. I have found the course to be well structured, with excellent support from the tutor, providing me with a solid foundation of practical skills in both counselling and hypnosis. The personal development this has given me has without doubt changed my life for the better. I feel well prepared and inspired to continue my journey into year two!

Flexible programme with knowledgeable tutors.

Chrysalis courses have been a life changing experience. I have recently completed my studies and had a wonderful learning experience. My tutor was fantastic, she was inspiring and so knowledgeable that it was enjoyable to attend every lecture. I feel that by completing my degree with Chrysalis it has completed me, I am now who I am supposed to be. I also want to add that the support of South student support team, especially the support I received from Tania Redmile, has been exceptional. I highly recommend studying with Chrysalis counselling courses. Thank you to all at Chrysalis.

The access to all information is excellent and the organisation of the course is excellent too. I enjoy the classroom days. However, I have noticed quite a number of typos and some factual errors in the course notes and this is why I have given 4 stars not 5. I think proof-reading is an issue.

I found our tutor, Fiona, fantastic. She created such a great feeling of a safe space, where we could all talk honestly. We became really close as a group. My one point of warning is that once you have signed up for a course you only have 14 days, from that day, to change. If you decide later they will keep the money or you will have to continue paying the direct debit. Might suggest signing up each year.

Our current tutor is excellent. She is knowledgeable, objective, experienced, supportive and a great communicator too. Prior to her becoming our tutor I felt very mixed about Chrysalis.

It’s a great team of people and colleagues.

I was not making progress in my original class, so I asked to transfer to another - this was done promptly and without fuss

I wouldn’t recommend Chrysalis to anyone as their support has been shocking. They have no idea what their students are doing or where they are in their study or what support they need. I have had zero contact from the student support team for a couple of years now about my course and what’s happening. Yes I know I could contact them but I have done that and have had nothing. This is just a waste of money and there are far better providers out there.

On the whole good experience. The online content is excellent, structured the course well and kept me on track. Initially I had no interest in hypnotherapy and it’s unfortunate that students are ‘forced’ to study it in their first year of the diploma course, however I did benefit in the end and now see hypnotherapy as an additional useful tool I can use going forwards. My tutor was well organised and marked on time/ gave good guidance for assignments. However at times I doubted his knowledge base and didn’t trust a lot of what he said as I know some of it to be untrue based on previous local knowledge.

I paid for a 3 year course, but due to unforeseen circumstances, I can no longer attend. They has said that I cannot get a refund on the 2 year course that doesn't even start for another 6 months. No understanding, do not listen, they just want your money . I did contact your office and informed that no refund would be coming back.

the company lacks honesty and integrity. lies to its students and gaslights them. All issues myself and other students in my cohort experienced were not addressed and any action chrysalis made was only for them to save face. do not sign up to any course run by them, you will regret it.

Prompt turn around in responding to my technical assistance query. Thanks guys.

Sign up for a real BACP accredited course and do it properly. You’ll get laughed at when you tell people you trained with this lot.

Despite a rocky start, the admin team solved the problem and my I continued with Chrysalis courses. The structure of the course is perfect for my needs. Although, at first the quality of the lecturer could be better but things improved and I enjoyed studying with Chrysalis courses. The admin team are professionals and always aim to help. Thank you

Tania and the South team are beyond EPIC - they go the extra mile and everything they do so clearly matters to them because WE matter to them as students. It is rare to come across such a great service, and not just once, but again and again. I am so appreciative of all the support they have always offered, nothing is too small or too large to deal with. They are spectacular!

The admin team have been brilliant. They responded within a reasonable timeframe to questions about my course. They have been supportive and friendly. Thank you to you all.
