Chrysalis Courses Recenzje 

Without Karl I don’t know if I would’ve had the courage to continue my studies. He’s been my motivation throughout and the perfect balance of brutal honesty and dad jokes, he’s been a massive comfort throughout (despite his military demeanour). Everyone needs a tutor like Karl.S

Karl set my class up perfectly to hit the ground running into our journey.

Karl was my tutor and he was the best thing since sliced bread. A great tutor. Great knowledge, very experienced, his teaching style suited me well. This year, my money was well spent. I’ve learnt loads. Unfortunately next year I have a different tutor. So I will be updating it again, if she’s not up to his standards or beyond. Moodle was easy enough to use. I’ve not had any problems. I have nothing to complain about.

Very interesting course

Good course content, tutors are good

Really recommend Chrysalis as a training platform to learn therapy,
Studying hypnotherapy and psychotherapy in year one, almost completed my first year - learning with a Cohort of amazing people who are becoming strong friends,

The learning is interactive and inclusive and our year one lecturer Fernanda Prado has inspired excitement in my new career but also her infectious enthusiasm, excellent attitude to teaching and second-to-none ability to inspire, coach mentor and teach is truly astounding,

I’ve been almost 20 years out of formal education and this experience has been easy, flexible and exciting and Fernanda has got me excited to uoskill and better develop myself in the process.

Thanks to on all involved with developing this training and especially Fernanda who has lit a spark I didn’t know needing igniting!

I found my tutor Fernanda is an excellent teacher. The course is very well designed. ❤️

The course is great but at times the admi department lets things down which is not often though x

Good information, resources and helpful staff

The courses were well-structured, with clear and practical information, while the tutor showed professionalism, empathy, and kindness toward the students. The atmosphere was safe and supportive, which encouraged personal growth. I especially appreciated the balance between theory and practical exercises, which helped me develop my listening, communication, and emotional understanding skills. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wishes to pursue serious training in counselling and invest in their own personal development.

Being listened and respected and supported

I had an excellent tutor who taught the course brilliantly and shared a wealth of experience from her work in the NHS and private practice.

One thing I would add. It is incredibly difficult to secure a placement, and you cannot qualify without the 100 free hours. Some of my peers think they will have to delay a year to give them time to find a placement, some have dropped out altogether. Chrysalis do not help with that. I believe that is the case with most providers. Make connections with placement providers as soon as you can, even before you start...maybe volunteer as a support worker to get your foot in the door.

The course is thoughtfully designed, thorough, and designed to help prepare therapists to become capable and effective practitioners. I've enjoyed the course thoroughly, learning both personally and professionally. Martin has been a wonderful tutor, and his added experience, real life examples, and genuine care and attention made the course for me. Would recommend Chrysalis to any would-be practitioner.

Constantly locked out of logging in to account and ridiculously overly complicated ways to upload assignments which are also inconsistent. I've never come across an institution that has different ways of uploading assignments and differing requirements during a course.
Other providers are much easier to navigate and use.

I don't think enough input is given on Skills Practice in triads and we are sent off to practice with our peers without having good skills demonstrated first. If there is not time in class we could be directed by Chrysalis to their own or other online resources which show skills in action not describe them in theory.
I also think Chrysalis should give more guidance on topics to use for skills practice with peers and provide role play scenarios for our 50 hours rather than expecting students to identify these for ourselves.
The venue is not suitable for skills practice when attending our in-person lectures.
I would like to have been offered another tutor when ours cancelled at short notice due to illness or to have the session rescheduled (online if necessary) when she was better. We were told that we would be updated the following week but we never were. Only one student has been told that we will now have our course extended by 2 months as a consequence.

The company is verbally helpful and wants to assist I am not certain whether it's staff put into place the ethics and behaviours that it tries to teach on the courses it provides time with tell

It’s progressing responding a question to students. Helpful and continuing to be productive.

Lots of work but met some lovely people and enjoying the journey.

Don't waste £4000 on this terrible, unethical course, it's an absolute shambles and a disgrace to the counselling profession. I am severely disappointed with the money I am wasting on this course. I have completed level 2 introduction, level 2 award and level 3 in counselling at a college and the standard of those courses and the ability of the teacher was 100% better and more ethical than this disgrace of a course. They are only robbing my money. The teacher is passive aggressive and doesn't answer any of our questions, only says "speak to student services", it's like she doesn't know anything about who she is working for.

This course is wholly unethical for a few reasons. 1. There are no private rooms to undertake confidential skills practices and activities. 2. The teacher is passive aggressive and I am shocked that if she is a counsellor, she is allowing herself morally to teach on such an unethical course. Our college tutor would never have allowed things to pass such as chrysalis have. The teacher is unprepared and has not done one ounce of teaching since November. She asks us to read the course notes at home, print out the presentation, and then proceeds to read out word for word the presentation, and that's it, done. She doesn't delve deeper into the teachings, and when we do our skills sessions, she says she doesn't want us to go 'too deep' with personal problems and asks us just to talk about the traffic - no self respecting person would go to counselling regarding traffic, so how is this teaching us skills?

We are also "learning" exactly what me and my peers learnt in level 2 and 3, we have not learnt anything new. The course is unethical because there are no private rooms to do skills practice, therefore we have to have confidential conversations (albeit about traffic), in front of everyone. This is NOT how skills practice should be done.

Feedback on assignments is slow, the system moodle doesn't work properly and is incredibly difficult and messy to navigate. The teacher then has the audacity to say "I know you can do better" in the assignments, when she doesn't know me and hasn't actually taught us anything, and her grammar doesn't make sense.

Me and lots of other peers have escalated our concerns to Chrysalis and the room was changed, however it is still not confidential, and it is out of the way for everyone using public transport, and STILL does not have confidential rooms away from other peers to undertake confidential skills practice and activities.

This course provider seriously needs an investigation into it's workings, because £4000 for a 2 year course where we are not learning anything and is unethical, is damn right disgusting.

I did not pay £4000 to then have to purchase expensive books (in this economy?!!), print out PowerPoints and then just have them read back to me.
