Our history
The British School of Yoga was established in 1946. Over time, as we increased our range of courses, we evolved to become BSY, the UK’s first home-study college to specialise in complementary therapies.
Now, we have over 300 courses available, in fascinating areas including counselling, beauty, animal healing, sports and fitness, and mind, body spirit.
Over the years, we have always stayed true to our ethos of providing quality courses, supported by people who genuinely care.
“Very real people, BSY doesn’t feel like a faceless business at all, it felt very personal”
Our students
Our students have independently awarded us a rating of 4.7 out of 5 from over 100 student reviews on www.reviewcentre.com2 .
A personalised, friendly and supportive approach is at the heart of what we do so we are very proud of our family of BSY students and appreciate the feedback they share with us1 .
“I would just like to say, since enrolling with BSY, I have felt so much more confident about my future.”
“Thank you for a great course and I look forward to reporting back on my new career.”
“This course has made me really think about my own life and has changed me and the way I see things.”
“I've been made to feel important and certainly no trouble. I've spoken to my tutors…who have all encouraged me with great feedback and support.”
“The course has helped me to understand and grow in my area of interest. I'm so happy I took the time to do it. I have been able to do the course at my own pace. Likewise the marking and returning of my assignments are timely. I'm looking forward to doing other courses with BSY.”

Our accreditations and affiliations
Over the years, our approach has always been to have recognition from external accreditation bodies with robust standards:
We offer a number of NCFE CACHE qualifications.
NCFE is a registered educational charity and Awarding Organisation that designs, develops and certificates nationally recognised qualifications. CACHE (the Council for Awards in Care, Health and Education) is the UK’s leading sector specialist in health, care and education. In 2015 CACHE became part of NCFE. NCFE CACHE qualifications offered by BSY are regulated by Ofqual in England.
OCN Credit4Learning is a nationally recognised accrediting body. Successfully completing an OCN accredited course with BSY enables you to gain nationally recognised credits which are accepted as entry to further education and university education.
We are endorsed by the Quality Licence Scheme, which includes us passing robust and rigorous quality audits by external inspectors.
