Chrysalis courses Reviews

Poor quality of teaching - simply going over the course notes which we are encouraged to read before class, does not qualify as teaching. No visual aids - including a supporting PPT - are used and learning is completely reliant on the work completed at home. A poor venue makes the experience further frustrating - a small, inappropriate room with no tables to work on and is generally very cold. Altogether, a disappointing experience so far especially considering the cost.

I have had help from student self support for over a year while I’ve been getting my clinical hours sorted for my third year and their help has been invaluable and much appreciated. They are always ready to help and so polite! It’s been a pleasure.

Very poor IT system and poorly organised course. The work submitted during the year was generally pointless and repetitive. Even then you needed to be very tech savvy to be able to submit the work. The face to face days mostly involved the group chatting and very little learning actually delivered. In short I would have been better off reading the material at home and doing the hours log and SSP’s. The SSP work should be submitted 3/4 way through instead of at the last session. Also given the cost I would have expected the certificate to be issued immediately after completion of work instead of potentially 4 months later. No mentoring for SSP or training in general. Overall, I wouldn’t do a course with Chrysalis again.

I was listened to and asked what I needed. Student support were really amazing and found a resolution that worked well. I have found student support very supportive and helpful when I have needed help

Very disappointed by the organisation of the course and the information given. Online content is good and interesting but the rubrics for the course and submission information lacks clarity and support is very limited. I feel like there is a conflict between what is asked of students regarding ethics, building of rapport, trauma awareness and the actual organisations delivery of the same. I would be happy to share further feedback directly.

As always Katie Knight went above and beyond to help support my request for help. Great student support.

I'm about to finish my first year of studies with Chrysalis, and whenever I get in touch with North Student Support, they are very kind and supportive. I've had various blunders due to awaiting re-assessment and treatment for my ADHD, making organizational tasks difficult. They have been of excellent help throughout the entire year!

The response to my query was prompt, efficient, and friendly, as always.

Student support is just the best! I must give a huge shout out to Katie at North student support who has been an absolute star! At the end of my 3 years plus( I needed an extension) I was slightly panicking with uploading my final documents but Katie was cool, calm, and collected, offering her help and reassurance every step of the way! That was just such a relief; she helped me enormously and I'm truly grateful! Over and above for their students! Thank you Katie!

Just really efficient and friendly, as they are whenever I call up.

I found very useful and precise

The staff working at south student support are very efficient, helpful and work in a way that empowers students. They manage student queries quickly and are extremely supportive.

I really appreciate the help with transfer me to London, thank you, Tania! We spoke by phone and my issue was easily resolved. I am happy to continue my study with Chrysalis in London.

I’ve recently finished training with Chrysalis, studying the 3 year course. The hypnotherapy year wasn’t the best, but years 2-3 studying counselling has been excellent, thanks to the tutor we had. The knowledge, encouragement, guidance and skills she passed on was invaluable and I feel extremely lucky to have learnt from her. Student support have been easy to deal with, more so over the last year or so when Tania joined the south team. She’s been absolutely brilliant, very helpful, looking into queries, and always going the extra mile. Tania is a credit to the support team!

The student support team really are second to none. The help they have given me has been amazing, always with a lovely attitude and happily given, and always fast reply with emails . I felt looked after and really helped. Wonderful people .

Poor communication and severe lack of support. I paid upfront foolishly and then having taken the decision to defer for a year, it felt like hitting my head against a wall in order to start up again. I support the previous poor reviews with the work load too as it is unrealistic work load and commitment with full time jobs. My class dispersed very quickly because of this! I wished to god I had read the reviews and took the advice to steer clear. They refused to pay back my final year plus the extra payments taken during the period of poor communication from them! They denied this naturally, and then left me out of pocket and stressed as a result ironically. Beware of extra payment taken for various reasons too. It’s all extremely expensive!! Please be sensible and check these reviews before committing…lesson well and truly learned for me. 😔

Leanne Wegg and the Student support team are awesome, they supported me throughout my course and helped wherever they could to ensure I completed successfully my studies. They are a very approachable, knowledgeable and professional team always willing to offer support and advice to students. As a student you will be supported by this team. The course was delivered well, my tutors were wonderful and the whole experience of studying with chrysalis was overall a great experience.

The student support was prompt, swift and always answered the query. I found the whole process easy and they were always polite and courteous

Reallly supportive and helpful customer service.
