Our students mean everything
to us and are the focus of our
business. This is what our students
think about us and our Anatomy, Physiology
and Pathology courses.
ETS tutors were encouraging and kept in touch every week. I felt supported but not hurried or rushed. You can do the courses at your own pace fitting them in with your lifestyle and unforseen events. The course - Complete Pathology - stretched me as I had never heard of some of the conditions included and learnt more about some I already knew a little about. It was worthwhile as I can now join the Association of Reflexologists and become recognised for the standard of my work. Many thanks to Chris and the team for the experience. - Liz, Exmouth
My (AoR Pathology and AoR Additional Pathology) certificates were sent out extremely quickly and the envelope even included a card of congratulations! It's obvious that you are receiving personal service from a friendly sized company rather than an anonymous organisation, and I would recommend to everyone. I even enjoyed the assessments! - Andrea, Taunton
I have enjoyed the course (AoR Anatomy and Physiology) and hope to use this in my every day life. - Carol, St Albans
I really enjoyed the (AoR Pathology) course. It was accessible and enjoyable and I could do it at my own speed. I would definitely do further dourses for CPD. - Andrea, Taunton
First class support system for distance learning. Simple to use self assessment methods. Excellent value for money. - Kathryn, Darlington
I have thoroughly enjoyed this course (VTCT Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology) and have found the on-line assessments/mock exams very useful. The tutors are extremely helpful and always reply promptly. I would recommend this course to anyone. Thank you. - Barbara, Nottingham
I have enjoyed the course (VTCT Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology) and feel that I have learned more because of the way the course is structured i.e. knowing that there is a test at the end of each section made me learn each really well. Tutors really supportive and friendly. - Susan, Atherstone
I chose this (VTCT Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology) course because I liked the learning style and the fact you can have a free taster of the on line tutorial, and the diploma covered pathology as well. I am dyslixic and although I enjoy learning it can be a real challenge. The tutors were very supportive, and what was so refreshing was I did not have to justify what support I needed and why. Where my screen reader did not work on the tutorial (which was only once) I had the text e mailed the same day to me in a word doc. I could take take the exam on line via webcam at home so I could use my own computer. I found the tutors really supportive and very helpful when I got stuck and they were able to find a way of explaining thing to me in a way I could understand. - Sarah, Woodbridge
Excellent content to the (AoR Pathology) course and easy to both understand and a good future reference. Extremely friendly tutors and always felt happy there was real support not just a faceless helddesk. - Jackie, Chelmsford
I thought that the Pathology level 3 diploma course was brilliant, it was very informative not only for the actual diseases themselves but also the holistic point of view valuable to me as a Complementary Therapist. I really enjoyed the weekly posts sent to me this really encouraged me to do well and let me know that I was not on my own as it was nice to see others doing well too. I like the little 'thought for the day' posts as it again was encouraging and gave a more human approach to doing the course. I have now signed up for the advanced Pathology because I just enjoyed studying using ETS. I would certainly recommend doing the course as it is real value for money and you learn lots and lots of new information - brilliant a huge thank you ETS! - Saran, Buckie
I have to say that I have enjoyed this course (FHT A&P) immensely, whoever put it together should be congratulated, technically challenging but presented in a very informative and easy to understand format. Thanks for your encouraging words along the way and I look forward to receiving the certificate in due course (no pun intended!). - Ralph, Redditch
Loved the course (FHT Pathology), very easy to follow and by doing the self assessments I was able to retain the information. The only problem I found was my own motivation, once I got that under controll it was all guns blazing. The tutors were brilliant by congratulating and encouraging all the way through. Thank you ETS. - Jacqueline, Derby
Amazing company and directors. During the course (FHT Anatomy & Physiology CPD) help was always provided even down to general enquiries about career avenues, insurance etc. Thanks for all the support and i recommend anyone interested in learning about these courses to use essential training. - Matthew, Brighton
The course (AoR Pathology) was easy to follow on line and full of all the information I needed to complete the course. I appreciated the tutor support every time I completed a module. - Rosemary, Ross on Wye
This course (FHT Pathology) is ideal for brushing up your knowledge and is appropriate for gaining CDP points. It is easy to access and can be completed in whatever time frame you have available. The tutor was easy to contact and seemed genuinely interested in offering the help and encouragement I needed to get started. I found the course content interesting and informative. Thank you so much. - Janet, Cumbria
An efficeint means to prove ones competence in a subject area. A new way of learning for me and I was suprised at how much I learned. - Lynn, Worcester
This is the best distance learning course (VTCT Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology) I have been on, through ease of use and speed of response from the tutors. I also found the Health and Safety Resource very useful and used it to take and pass the health and safety element of my complementary therapies diploma. - Katharine, Coalville
I have had an amazing journey of knowledge and encouragement on this course (VTCT Anatomy & Physiology), the support is outstanding from the tutors. - Christina, London
The least-stressful way of gaining your (VTCT Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology) qualification! - Susan, Folkestone
Once I got started (VTCT Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology) and followed the apporach advised by ETS, the course was challenging but incredibly easy to follow. Doing and passing EKEs and the excellent encouragement from Chris and Sharon really helped me through the tough times! Thank you so much! - Maureen, East Lothian
I have thoroughly enjoyed this course (VTCT Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology) - there has been absolutely loads of new stuff to learn but the format of the course is really enjoyable - a great way to learn and revise and the support has been fantastic. - Jacky, Bury St Edmunds
Although an on-line, self-study course, I felt part of something larger. The course material and research links have increased my knowledge, and given me something to continue to work with. The material was clearly and concisely presented, as were the assessment questions. I'm glad I've done this course. - Elizabeth, Stockport
The (FHT A&P) Course highlighted and improved my knowledge that i had already obtained from doing a HND Sport Science course. It was great to get a solid foundation before I under take my Physiotherapy degree next year. - Wayne, Taunton
I thoroughly enjoyed the AOR Pathology CPD course, being able to go at my own pace was a plus. It was good to receive my results instantly, and also the positive encouragement following every subject assessment from my tutor. - Elaine, Milton Keynes
The information given about the course was concise and very useful. The tutors are encouraging and easily available for help. - Miranda, Nantwich
Doing courses via the internet is a great idea. I am on the Isle of Man and can't always get access to courses without traveling to the UK. - Lisa, Ise of Man
It was easy to use, especially for some one like myself with learning difficulties and very interesting with no pressure with time limits, I could do it in my spare time which is rare.

Fabulous support during the learning. Being able to use the materials at home on-line or by CD and away from home via the book. Thank you. - Sue, Baldock
Chris and Sharon have such a postive, supportive feedback system. You know they are there whenever/if you need them. - Elaine, Derby
This was the first time I'd used ETS. I studied pathology and found it to be a very well thought out course. I liked the fact that I could practice the assesments for each body system as many times as I needed. I didn't need to contact Sharon or the others for support, but I knew they were always there if needed. On receiving my certificate shortly after completing the final exam, I was pleasently surprised to find a hand written congratulations card from sharon and all. I have never completed an online course, where the support was so good. I would recommend completing an ETS course. - Janette, Bridgwater
Fantastic on line course with excellent resources available to achieve the best results. - Sarah, Chacewater
It's easy to use. The Tutor support is there if you need it. The course I did, FHT Pathology was good value for money. - Nicky, Tring
This was my first experience with ETS and I have found it has been a very good one, from my initial telephone conversation right through the entire course, supportive, encouraging and professioinal. The delivery of my certificate was prompt and I thought the inclusion of a little hand written card was a "lovely" touch. I have not recommended in the past as I knew nothing about it BUT I will certainly have no hesitation to do so now. I feel ETS goes that "extra" mile and I look forward to doing another course in the future. - Serena, Co. Antrim
I really enjoyed it's ease of use and Sharon's help whenever there was a problem. She made ETS is a very human experience. - Melanie, Worcester
The course is extremely good value for money and easy to access and follow. - Bee, Kent
This course was easy to do and covered many areas that i need to know more about for my job. The continuing emails of recognition from the tutors was very confidence boosting and helped with my enthusiams to finish the course. - Samantha, Bordon
The course was easy to understand and use, I am happy I took the course and would recommend it to anyone. - Kirsti, Swansea
This course is well researched and written and is informative and interesting. The tutor support was excellent from the start and encouraging to help keep you motivated and inspired.I qualified as a Holistic Therapist eleven years ago and this course has been a helpful refresher and allowed me to build upon my existing knowledge whilst gaining a first rate reference library of information for the future. Also a great way to gain CPD. Many Thanks!!
- Jocasta, Isle of Skye
The course was easy to understand and use, I am happy I took the course and would recommend it to anyone. - Kirsti, Swansea
The course was really good as it allowed me the flexibility to study at my own pace in the comfort of my own home with excellent support and encouragement when I need it. - Julie, Stoke-on-Trent
I found the pathology course easy to follow and study. It was at my fingertips any time that I wanted to study, and there was no set time to study each day. I could study when I had time, and when I felt like studying, which is very helpful in today's rush around society. This course suited me 100%, and I would be glad to recommend ETS to anyone. The cost was very fair especially with all the materials and support that you get if it is required. I am so pleased with how the course has gone, that I have enrolled on further courses today. I would like to say well done to ETS, and would also like to say a big thank you to Sharon and the team for being so efficient, and very friendly through out. You are a credit to ETS, and it definetly makes it easier for students to study at their own pace with kind and friendly support if required. Thank you once again, God bless and love always - Rob, Kingswinford
The Complete Pathology course was my first experience of online study and a great one.I enjoyed my study with ETS, throughout the course I received encouragement and positive feedback regarding my progress. On completion, i also received congratulation emails and my cerfticates were sent within 3 days. I will definitely recommend ETS to friends and family. Thanks ETS!
- Rachel, London
I loved it the way it was so I wouldnt change anything. It was great to refresh my memory on a lot of the conditions that I don't see that often in practice. The format of the online course was fab and I will definately be buying from you again! - Kirsty, Gateshead
The course is comprehensive and very user friendly. The practice assessments give you a good indication of the final assessment. This is the second course I have done through ETS and would definately recommend them.
- Pauline, Carlisle
Even studying alone I felt engaged and supported as if I had a face to face tutor. With no experience I have excelled all expectations. I can not thank you enough for experience and knowledge. - Richard, Bristol
I felt that the course was very well put together with instant feedback. Excellent. - Pauline, Andover
I have found the course very helpful; with an enjoyable way to learn the material and revise. The tutors are very helpful too. - Elizabeth, St Albans
Enjoyable course! I'm very proud of myself right now! Thank you x - Susan, Cheshunt
I have very much enjoyed the Pathology course via ETS, it has been put together in a way to help make learning fun and easier to remember. I was able to stop and pick up again when it suited me. - Sylvia, Eastleigh
I Enjoyed the course immensely. The site is really easy to navigate around. The links supplied were useful and very informative. I found myself reading deeper into subjects than perhaps was needed which can only be a good thing. I think I may well be looking into other courses ETS are running as I'm going to miss the course. There was plenty of support available and encouragement when assessments were completed. Thank you all so much. - Anne, Trowbridge
This is the best course I have ever done. It was easy to follow, in bite size chunks and learning the content was easy as you did it as you went along. Doing the tests really helped to show which areas needed more revision etc. Brilliant! - Deborah, Pontefract
I have thoroughly enjoyed the course. This is the first time I have studied in 25 years and I found the course so easy to use online. The tutors were very supportive and encouraging and I would recommend this course to anyone who is interested in Anatomy & Physiology. - Judith, Lytham St Annes
Very interesting course that informed my practice. Heaps of support and eay to pick up and put down as time and life allow. - Ali, Kilmaurs
The material is presented in an easy to understand manner with ample diagrams for understanding. Assistance is always at hand and once you get going it becomes easier to keep on - thank you! - Alison, Italy
The course was very comprehensive but very easy to to work with. It gave me the freedom to achieve a qualification from a location where it would not have otherwise been available. - Helen, Gwynedd
I'm so glad you have this program, It was really helpful for a working student like me and I'm so thankful for all of your support. More Power to all of you! - Maria, Athens
I found the course easy to follow, and if you click on every link provided then you have been given all the information you need to answer all questions easily, providing you read the question properly. It was a very easy way of obtaining CPD, and I look forward to the introduction of higher level studies for therapists who want to progress. - Denise, Oxford
Excellent course - the introduction was straightforward and it was useful doing research on the various conditions. I was fascinated about how many of the conditions have no actual cure and how many have very similar symptoms. The ETS downloads were a useful summary of each condition and I will value the holistic advice in them. Doing the tests is a good way of consolidating knowledge - it was very encouraging to receive emails from the tutors celebrating progress! I would thoroughly recommend the course and am intending to do further courses using Essential Training. - Gillian, Essex
Thankyou Chris and Sharon, another really well laid out and organised course. Easy to negotiate around the site, and loads of obtainable reading and information on all the conditions. I havn't needed to contact you as tutors at any stage this time, but it has been lovely to receive the email support along the way from you. This is the second course I've done through ETS, and I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone else considering studying online. - Lucy, Rutland
The training is very user friendly, easy to follow, very informative and the feedback from the tutors excellent.
- Veronica, Kendal
I have really enjoyed it - I would have been happier to face more questions to ensure greater breadth of knowledge - but accept that may not be popular with those wanting to complete the course quickly. That said I feel I have learnt a great deal and thoroughly enjoyed the process many, many thanks. - Deborah, Stockport
Content was very good, i like the tutorials and self assesment ideas. They give you a clue to your weak areas.
- Carole, Liphook
An extremely valuable course that has provided refresher training and easy to understand course materials that I can refer to if needed. ETS is ideal if you are constantly busy, on-the-go with little time to physically attend training courses. Having the ability to complete the course in sections, as and when I have time is a superb, convenient way of completing refresher training and building CPD points. Will definitely recommend and will definitely be back for more soon! Thanks very much!
- Cara, Bridgend
Really enjoyed the course,it's the 1st online course i have done. Liked emails received after self assessments as found them encouraging. Would recommend ETS to others.
- Paula, Boston
I really enjoyed this course and found it was very well structured to help learn the load of material. The size of the sections, questions to check understanding , spelling tests all helped aid retention and grasp the material. I found it was written in clear, plain English. When I did check other resources, I was always impressed by the comparative clarity of ETS and happy to return to the site. The self testing with the SAs was also very useful, especially in the preparations for the final. Often I felt the EKEs surprised me with a new angle of questioning on the material that I hadn't considered before. Now, I can see they were designed to check my depth of understanding and not just an ability to rote learn. Thank you for taking the time to design the course to really help students learn what is a fascinating subject in depth and make it fun and enjoyable at the same time. - Bridget, Japan
I enjoyed the pathology course. The course content was very good and, being able to do the assessments whenever I had spare time was great, making the whole thing stress-free. I would not hesitate to use ETS Training in the future
- Sheila, Isle of Mann
I really enjoyed the course, I found it easy to use & also gain a lot of knowledge from it. I will be looking at doing more courses with you in the future for sure! I don't think there is anything you could improve on. The content was great & the website is also great & easy to use. Well done on creating something special!
- Kathy, Chesterfield
ETS has helped me gain more qualifications to further my career as a massage therapist. Their courses are very user friendly and easy to understand. I would certainly do any appropriate courses available with ETS. - Pauline, Kent
Fantastic that you can learn at your own pace, when YOU decide, I have been known to switch on the laptop at 2-3am if I cant sleep! Very extensive data available, you get what you put into the course. The assessments are a great idea, and show you where your weak areas are BEFORE you sit the final exam. Its great to have the tutors sending motivational emails to you every week to encourage and congratulate. Would definitely use you again.
- Jackie, Worcester
I have completed 2 courses with this company and have found them very supportive. Both courses were very relevant to both mobile therapists and those who might have their own property. The Health and Safety course was good as was the Anatomy and Physiology which I have just completed.
- Tracy, Tonypandy
It was very nice to get encouraging remarks from you during the course and good value for money although most of it was on the NHS website! As an Aromatherapist and practising Registered Nurse it boosted my confidence and updated my knowledge! Many Thanks! - Jennifer, Suffolk
It was very detailed and very comprehensive and I learnt a lot. I have studied distance learning before and have never got as detailed course for the price. It is brillant value for money. - Orla, Tyrone
I thoroughly enjoyed the course and found the material presented in an understandable and interesting way. Chris and Sharon were both supportive and encouraging throughout. - Charlotte, Dorking
The best online learning course I have seen. Very interactive. Nothing to improve. A really enjoyable and flexible way to learn. A truly interactive online approach which certainly worked well for me. Thank you. - Carol, Stoke on Trent
Fantastic support as it took me a long time to complete the course. No pressure to finish just encouragement all the way. Would recommend to anyone. - Paula, Rugby
I found the weekly emails really encouraging and my aim was to be star of the week!! Great encouragment and approachable via telephone. - Katrina, Nottingham
Very easy going and supportive. Felt like I was in control of my learning. Extremely friendly. - Elaine, Cannock
I think this is a very good, well organised online course with excellent self assessment opportunities. In saying that I felt that an online learning evironment does not suit me and I really craved a more social/face to face environment. - Laura, Lancaster
The course was easy to use. It had very clear instructions on how to use it. The quizzes were a great way of checking how much you were taking in, and the downloads were perfect for reading through to summarise what you had just read. They are also useful to keep as quick reference for future clients. A great way on brushing up on learning conditions if you haven't done any studying for a while. The feedback you get from the tutor every week is a great boost to keep on going. Would recommend it to anyone wanting to earn their cpd points or just to brush up on their pathology. - Tessa, Lutterworth
This is the first online course that I have done and didn't really know what to expect - but found it very easy to work with - the content was excellent.
I particularly found the flexibility to study, do tutorials and assessments at my own pace and in my own time really useful. Would definately consider doing another online course now. - Carol, Amersham
I found the course very user friendly and the encouragement from the tutor support was invaluable. - Lesley, Durham
The course was well planned. It was all explained fully within the guide, so all quite straightforward. I found that the course content was very good and by following the links supplied I found that all of the information I required was available. I have enjoyed doing the course and will probably enrol for further courses in the future. I have to say that the complimentary emails that I received from the tutors each time I achieved a good result did make me feel good.
- Eileen, Andover
Thank you to all at ETS for a great learning experience. I have thoroughly enjoyed the FHT Pathology course. I was pleased that I could learn at my own pace and I never felt pressurised (it took me nearly four months to complete). The course content was easy to follow with useful website links and downloadable material which could be printed off so I didnt have to spend lots of time looking at a computer screen. I have always been a little apprehensive about taking exams but I found the quizzes fun and appreciated the encouragement I received from the tutors. By the time I was ready to take the final assessment I felt well prepared.
- Gwyneth, Torquay
I found the course very easy to use, a convenient way to study and improve my knowledge base in the comfort of my own home. - Elizabeth, Luton
I found this course very helpful as a Therapist and to understanding problems that clients have with pain and symptoms. Very interesting and easy to understand and not too much time consuming to get my head around the questions. - Maria, Warwickshire
The course was concise and well put together, with website links and downloadable materials. The content focused on the essential information needed to have a good understanding of each of the key conditions, without any unnecessary reading and research. I had covered most of the content before on my Reflexology (Anatomy & Physiology) course, but it was a good refresher. - Robert, West Midlands
A very well put together course. I love the way the information is delivered in bite-size chunks. Very digestable! Can't fault it!. - Annie, South Yorkshire
I would recommend the course to anyone. Although you can study at your own pace at home the way the quizzes and the theory complement each other you get a thorough understanding of the subject . - Carson, Kent
I was a bit reluctant to enter study again but found myself pleasantly surprised by just how engaged I became in this course. I particularly enjoyed the communication with my tutor around things other than the course which made it a very human experience. - Padmapriya, Surrey
I really enjoyed doing the course, I am new to computers, but did not find the course instructions at all daunting. I liked the fact that you could re-do the tests as often as you liked, and found this a great help, as well as a brilliant way to revise.
- Susan, Leicester
I enjoyed the course and found it interesting. It was so well structured that I did not need any tutor support and still managed to pass easily. Learning about the different illnesses has made me more aware of looking after my own health through healthy eating, exercise and relaxation. Thank you!. - Hayley, London
Found accessing the training at a time convenient
to me really useful. The self assessment tests were great for confirming I had
understood the course clearly and the support emails kept me focused to continue
the course. - Louise, Bristol
The course covered a huge variety of conditions relating to every individual body system and was, at times, quite challenging. I really enjoyed it, though, and would use ETS again.
- Paula, Belfast
I felt there was nothing to be improved. The tutors were fanstastic, helpful and put you at ease as soon as you arrived in the school for the final assessment. Very friendly, good atmosphere and encouraging. Fab. Thanks for all the support!- Julie, Newcastle-upon-Tyne
The course was fantastic, easy to use, good support from the tutors, highly recommended, also you can fit it in with your work and personal life. Very good.- Jodie, Hertfordshire
I was dubious about being isolated and unmotivated when first looking into online study. My experience was quite the opposite however. Support tutors were always to hand (or email!) and I found the convenience of studying online was just what I needed.- Lorraine, Leamington Spa
I have really enjoyed this course - not sure what I will do with all my spare time now!! I loved getting the weekly summaries, and felt like I was constantly supported, with any questions being answered as quickly as possible. Thank you.- Kelly, Skelmersdale
I found the course to be extremely user friendly, being able to access all areas at any time of day. Lots of useful tips which made points stick in the memory. It was great to know Chris and Sharon were just an email away to answer any queries for support.- Karen, Cambridge
The course has been very interesting all through. The tutors have all the way been supportive even though there is that long distance. The instructions have always been very clear with swift responses to my emails.- Michael, The Gambia
This training course has been very useful to me a lot. It has improved me a lot and made a lot of changes to my work as bone health research assistant. The ETS team has been very supportive throughout the course.- Mustapha,
The Gambia
I really enjoyed the flexibility of learning online, and knowing immediately how I was doing. Overall a great, simple and totally controllable experience.- Denise,
London
The (FHT Pathology) course was very well done and the tutor correspondence was great. I have really enjoyed doing this course and have taken a lot of knowledge away with me. Thank-you! ETS has been a great learning experience and has made studying enjoyable again. I would highly recommend ETS.
- Natalie,
Wiltshire
What amazing help you get and a lot of encouragement from the teachers. I
feel that these training I learn better then other courses I have done in the
past. I feel so proud that I got a lot of help and it ease my mind to carry on
which is important - Elizabeth, Edgeware
I have done quite a few
distance learning courses but this
exceeds all others. Every e-mail
query has been answered promptly
and support has always been there.
A very well structured course and
very comprehensive. - Lyn,
Norwich
I would recommend this to
any therapist the tutors so
helpful i found it so easy at the
end of the course but at first it
was hard. But I m so inspired that
i have done this A & P and passed.
- Elizabeth, Middlesex
I found the entire
experience really good and easy to
use. The quizzes helped prepare me
and the info on the sites was very
helpful and in a format that was
easy to use and follow. I enjoyed
it. - Pauline, Cumbria
I thoroughly enjoyed the
Course, which was my first 'online
Course'. I even enjoyed doing the
initial assessments, and the fact
you can do them again. Downloads
are invaluable. Will definitely
recommend to my friends and
colleagues. I regret not taking
advantage of bogof, but thats
life. - Wendy, Hampshire
The Pathology was very
interesting, it complimented
Anatomy and Physiology very well.
This extra insight and knowledge
is invaluable to the manual
therapist. - Michael,
Buckinghamshire
Initially, I was worried
about this difficult subject! But
to obtain my aromatherapy
certificate, I have no choice!
When I was started the ETS A&P
online study, it really surprises
me! It really makes me very easy
to learn, to understand and to
memories. I love to study A&P when
after I have started the first
chapter. So now I have passed my
final exam and it is very easy to
do. I will recommend to my friends
in future. Overall is excellent!
Karmen - Malaysia
Amazing amount of personal
support for an online course. The
course was easy to follow - I
wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
- Trish, Nantwich
Everything was explained
well and the course tutors were
very helpful. Thoroughly
enjoyable. - Jade,
Worcester
Studying A&P with ETS was
brilliant for me as I could study
at a leisurely speed that suited
my changing work patterns. I saved
the time it took to travel to a
class by studying instead. The
step by step CD and book is really
easy to follow. I didn't feel
rushed to finish each stage but I
was so encouraged that I found it
hard to put down. The online
support is always there and I
would thoroughly recommend this
course. - Pam, Sheffield
Thanks so much for all your
support during the course. I'm
really pleased I did the pathology
part 2 as it brought together
everything I had learnt in the
anatomy and physiology and makes
sense of how these first 2 parts
are relevant for complementary
therapists in application! All 3
elements will be very useful in my
practice for Thai yoga massage.
Great course, really well
supported, lovely tutors and lots
of encouragement throughout when
otherwise you could feel like you
are studying in isolation. Thank
you Sharon and Chris. - Bev,
Kent
So simple to use, no
pressure and lots of friendly
support. What else do you need?
- Michael, High Wycombe
The course was brilliant. I
couldn't ask more from Sharon and
Chris - they have been so
supportive. I am so pleased I
enrolled. I felt supported from
the beginning to the last question
on the final assessment. -
Jessica, Lowerstoft
I completely fell in to the
right hands. Thank you, thank you,
thank you. - Hina, London
Extremely good course, very
detailed and exacting. Easy to
use, plenty of backup and help as
and when required. All in all a
thoroughly enjoyable experience.
- Paul, Norwich
Allowed me to work towards a
qualification in my own time.
- Rebecca, Nottingham
I started the course in the
hope of finishing as quickly as
possible. Unfortunately I ended up
having a few health issues that
slowed me down, but the support I
got from the ETS team was amazing
and it encouraged me to not give
up and finish it! Thank you!!! xxx
- Sabine, Redhill
I have loved the course. The
tutorial is easy and fun to use.
The manual is very clear and
concise. I loved the self
assessments and the mock exam,
great revision tools. Chris and
Sharon have been so supportive and
friendly. Excellent course! -
Christine, Staines
Great course with lots of
support. The weekly emails were
chelpful to chivvy me along. The
book is written in a friendly way
with helpful hints and memory
tips. Thanks very much! -
Bev, Whitstable
Great journey. Great team.
Very good content and yes
accredited. - Peter,
Sheffield
Thoroughly enjoyed the
course. Chris and Sharon are
lovely people - highly
recommended!! Many thanx. -

and given support and ideas
on how to study. Made to feel
welcome and relaxed in the
final assessment. Chris and
Sharon are a wonderful team
and I can't thank them enough! - Stephanie,
Chesterfield
I enjoyed everything about
the course. The information
was very easy to digest. The
website was very concise and
entertaining at times! -
Michelle, Menston
My training has been "amazing",
set out in easy to understand
modules - I even gave up smoking
whilst training! A huge thanks
to Chris and Sharon,
you've been wonderful. - Lorraine,
Belz, France
Really interesting course,
with lots of help on hand if
you can't understand something
or want more information. - Sarah,
Royston
Initially when I first got
into the course, I was a bit
concerned I had bitten off
more than I could chew being
a full-time worker. However,
the nice thing about this course
is you can do it at your own
pace, so I am delighted to
get through it and pass! - Suzanne,
London
Excellent - very easy accessible
way to study. - Gail,
Kingston upon Thames
Very supporting team - thanks
Chris and Sharon. Very enjoyable.
I wish I had done it sooner
now! I found using the internet
course more motivating than
the book - I wish I realised
that sooner. Highly recommended. - Zoe,
Pencader
I am amazed at the endless
patience of Chris and Sharon
in nurturing us all over the
difficult bits and celebrating
all the success! - Liz,
Leeds
Excellent! Interesting, enjoyable
and relaxed. It was definitely
worth doing. Thank you! - Dominique,
Woking
Taking the course has given
me the confidence to further
my career. - Janice,
Holywell
I found the A&P course
very interesting and easy to
use, having different medias
available to study from is
helpful and allows you to choose
a study method that suits you.
The tutor support is great,
especially when you have not
undertaken a course like this
before. - Sarah, Solihill
The flexibility of the course
was perfect for me because
I have a very demanding job.
I really enjoyed completing
the course and also enjoyed
the functionality of the web
site, particularly the ability
to do unlimited numbers of
attempts of the mock exam.
The support I received on the
course was brilliant. - Kira,
Reading
The support was very, very
good. Both Sharon and Chris
were very encouraging and always
supportive. The course itself
was very easy to follow too.
First time I have done an online
course and thought it was great!
- Shree - London
I really enjoyed this course.
It is easy and, although it
is online, you feel totally
supported by your tutors. I
would not mind to join any
other course with ETS. - Marta,
Edinburgh
I have thoroughly enjoyed
this course. The self-assessments
were straight forward and reassuring.
It was in chunks that were
easy and enjoyable to learn.
It's the best course I have
taken and should recommend
to anyone. - Carol,
Buntingford
Excellent. I have really
enjoyed the course. The tutors
have been helpful and supportive
throughout. - Sally-Ann,
Rotherfield
The course was really easy
to use and helped breakdown
all the information into bite
sized pieces. Thank you. - Nicola,
Nottingham
I carried out extensive
research before selecting this
course as I knew I wanted an
online course that was user
friendly, provided the best
learning environment and aids
along with allowing me to progress
as fast as I could. The demonstration
of the tutorial sold it to
me within moments and I have
at many times throughout the
course been thankful for the
piecemeal facts, with questions
throughout. This not only enables
one to feel in control and
not overwhelmed, but it consolidates
the learning throughout and
assists with revision to boot.
The content is totally non-
basis about any previous knowledge.
In fact I had none whatsoever
and used only the ETS tutorial
and ended with a 100% pass
mark in the final; so to those
of you that may feel you can’t
do it, take the plunge! ETS
not only provide a well honed
learning tool and environment
but they back it up with 100
% sincere support at every
juncture along the way! With
self-assessments to test your
knowledge and finals every
8 weeks, there is nothing to
loose, but a fantastic working
knowledge of ourselves to gain! – Alison,
Tidworth
This was a fantastic experience.
I really enjoyed the way the
course was structured and the
way it led me to the final
assessment. The best course
I have ever done. Thank you
so much. - Zohra,
St. Albans
Excellent course, well laid
out, concise, online experience
fantastic, book fantastic -
would recommend highly. - Maggie,
Chesham
Fantastic tutors - very friendly
and supportive. Regular contact
proved to be very motivating.
Thoroughly enjoyed it and was
a great sense of satisfaction
in completing it. - Sian,
Bridgend
I really enjoyed the format
and content of this course
and in particular that by the
end I had a good understanding
of the inter-relationships
between systems. Also felt
totally supported and encouraged
throughout. - Emma,
Kent
A tension free qualification,
and I have thoroughly enjoyed
it. My questions (and there
were a few) were answered promptly
and satisfactorily. Many thanks.
- Amanda, Northamptonshire
Good support, friendly, very
easy layout, easy to understand,
good depth even though not
studied this subject before.
Would do another course. - Wanda,
Fife
I found the course easy to
use and although my mind felt
buggled first of all, it gradually
started to make senses as I
completed more and more sections.
The mock final assessment gave
me more confidence. - Molly,
Cardiff
Excellent course, very user
friendly with excellent support.
You feel there is always someone
there in the background if
you encounter any problems,
so although you study by yourself
you are not alone. Thoroughly
enjoyed and would recommend
thoroughly. - Brenda,
Coventry
I have found the course
with ETS to be a fantastic
experience with great tutor
support. Personally I have
only been able to do this in
my own time which other courses
do not offer. This means it
is a lot more flexible and
less stressful! - Hollie,
Blandford Forum
The course content is marvellous,
very clear and concise. The
material, book, CD and website
are easy to manage. The tutor
support has been great. - Jayne,
Canterbury
Pleased with how the course
allows you to go at your own
pace. Really enjoyed it. Thanks.
- Oliver, Swindon
Thoroughly enjoyed the learning
- it made me want to learn
more. Fantastic tutor support
- never felt alone in it. - Tess,
Safron Walden
Thankyou to Sharon and Chris
for providing such a great
online course! I found it worked
really well for me, having
not been able to get onto the
A and P course at my nearest
college for various reasons,
this course was the perfect
answer, with the added benefit
of not having to travel each
week. It ticked all the right
boxes - well recognised and
certified by all the necessary
examining boards, which speaks
volumes, it is well written,
well laid out and easy to navigate
your way around. It provides
a way of flexible learning,
so that you can fit it in around
work etc, whilst giving you
the choice of using the book,
cd rom or online version. The
self assessments are invaluable
to test your knowledge and
bring you up to scratch for
the EKEs, and also for revision
in the run up to the final
assessment. Most importantly,
if ever I did need to ask a
question, there was always
a friendly, helpful voice on
the other end of the phone,
and emails always had quick
replies. As for final assessment
day, well it was lovely to
meet Sharon and Chris at last,
they were there to greet us
all with friendly faces, plus
tea, coffee and biscuits! The
assessment was fine, again,
straight forward multiple choice
questions, requiring one answer,
which was a relief after some
of the previous EKE questions.
It was also good to meet the
other students, and interesting
to hear how people were going
to use the qualification. All
in all, a big thumbs up, thankyou! – Lucy,
Rutland
The course met my expectations
and more! The course materials
were excellent, the freedom
of being able to use the book
while on the move and both
the cd rom and the online version
while at home made doing the
course a piece of cake. The
course material and the easy
and varied mechanisms of studying
for the online assessments
made the course both easy and
convenient. Big big thank you
to Chris and Sharon for their
excellent support all along
the way. - Tracey,
Staffordshire
For anyone looking to achieve
a Diploma in Anatomy and Physiology,
I can highly recommend Essential
Training’s online VTCT accredited
course. The course took many
months to complete as I had
to take time out because of
illness, but I was able to
return to study immediately.
All I had to do was put the
tutorial CD in the computer,
revise the material I had previously
covered (forgotten!), and away
I went. I found the material
on the CD laid out in an easy
to learn format, together with
great graphics – a necessity
for learning anatomy and physiology!
The support I received from
the tutors throughout the course
was second to none – always
keeping in touch without being
intrusive or exerting any form
of pressure. They also showed
great empathy and provided
advice when necessary, drawn
from their experience in both
complementary therapies and
computer knowledge. Achieving
my Diploma took a great deal
of study and hard work, but
it was made so much easier
using this online method. - Patricia,
Wokingham
This
course is definately thumbs
up all the way. You pay one
fee, with no hidden costs
after, that includes your
exam fee and if you need
to a re-take. The course
is structured in such a way
that as long as you put the
work in, you will learn and
you will definately pass
the final exam to get the
diploma. Also you have on
line support or via telephone
if you wish with the e-tutors
who run the course Chris & Sharon,they
have been fantastic, it's
done on a very personal level
(you're not just a number)
and they are always there
to help & support you.
The structure of the course
is set out so you test & re-test
yourself, so you always know
where you are at & how
much information is going
in. There is a recognised
qualification at the end
of it, which is obviously
what you're aiming for, as
a lot of on line courses
don't really offer this.
Highly recommended!!! . - Sarah,
Tolworth
Having
the freedom to study when
and where I like has had
a huge impact on my success
and progression throughout
this course. The course content
materials are presented in
an excellent manner and are
clear and easy to understand.
I particularly like the fact
that there are quiz questions
throughout each module which
help to build your confidence
and confirm that the material
is sinking into my memory.
The way the course is broken
down into bite sized chunks
has allowed me to enjoy learning
even the most challenging
topics on the course, which
have ultimately become my
most favoured subject areas.
I feel ready to continue
with the rest of my career
now, confident in the knowledge
that Essential Training have
given me a thorough understanding
of the course material I
needed - highly recommended!! - Lucy,
Hove.
I
would just like to say how
much i have enjoyed the Anatomy & Physiology
course by ETS. Its been a
joy to learn at my own pace
without the hassle of commuting
to and from college during
the winter months, with the
added bonus of a recognised
qualification at the end.
The course content is easy
to follow with self assessments
to track your progress. The
support and encouragement
I've had from my online tutors
has been second to none -
thank you Chris and Sharon. – Suzanne,
Shropshire
I would recommend this course
on Anatomy and Physiology by
ETS as the format is very easy
to understand and as the course
is broken down into different
systems you can choose which
order to complete them in.
The course is very interesting
and if you have any problems
your tutor is on hand to help
you through them and is always
there with lots of encouragement. – Stella,
Norwich
I wanted to let you know
how much i enjoyed taking the
essential Anatomy & Physiology
course. I found it very easy
to follow which in my case
needed to be as my computer
skills are very limited, i
found it very useful to have
lots of questions to answer
along throughout the programme
to way to confirm my understanding.
The self assessment tests that
are done on line are great
as i got an instant result
so was able to correct my knowledge
straight away, not having to
wait a week or more as would
be the case in a class room
situation. I found the course
fitted well into my lifestyle
as i could not study properly
for about two months but found
it very easy to get back into
the course The warm welcome
i received on the day of the
exam made me fill very much
part of the group. I would
recommend this course to any
one in the future. Many thanks
for all your help and encouragement. – Tania,
Banbury
I have really enjoyed studying
with ETS. The course can be
fitted into any lifestyle as
you can work at your own pace,
with the final assessment held
every eight weeks. The support
you will get from your tutor,
Sharon, is fantastic, she is
always there to answer any
questions and push you on.
The course itself is very thorough
and fun to do, with plenty
of self assessments to help
you get to grips with each
section. I highly recommend
this course to anyone, whether
it is needed to support your
training in a therapy as it
was for me learning the Bowen
Technique or to extend your
knowledge on anatomy and physiology.
- Elizabeth,
Somerset
I never knew how fun this
course was going to be. I was
very pleased when I heard there
was a way of gaining a recognised
qualification in A&P without
having to travel nearly an
hour every week to the nearest
college. An added advantage
to this course is that it fits
round my very busy life. There
are times when I'm unable to
find the time to study for
weeks, but my tutor, Sharon
has been very patient, keeping
in touch with encouraging & supportive
emails. Being a bit of a technophobe
I was initially rather apprehensive
about all the computer work.
But the online studying works
really well--its so straight
forward & easy. And the
actual material is broken down
into clear, concise, bite sized
peices, with frequent mini
tests to help make sure we've
understood it. At the end of
each module there is a self
assessment test, which can
be taken as many times as you
like, which is very helpful,
confidence building & good
practise for the final exam.
I am now well into the course,
and really enjoying it, & look
forward to getting the time
to escape to the computer & get
some more studying in. – Mary,
Cheddar
I'm thoroughly enjoying
the course and have found it
be very well structured and
once into the flow of doing
the different sections, relatively
easy to follow. I must admit
when i first started i was
a bit bewildered and felt as
though i didnt know where to
start but once i did start
everything made sense. Its
great doing the self assessments
and essential knowledge tests
as this i feel is the back
bone of the course, in that
you get know to know as you
go along what you are understanding
and what you are struggling
with, rather than finding out
when you do the main exam and
possibly fail. Also the tutor
help is fantastic and its really
nice that you get emails just
to check how your getting on,
you really get a sense of that
their is someone routing for
you to do well and support
you all the way, rather than
just taking your money and
leaving you to your own devices. – Dawn,
Brighouse
Online learning is a really
enjoyable way of studying.
I have been able to learn at
my own pace when and where
I have wanted to! All the study/subject
material is easily accessable
on the Essential Learning website.
I have found it really user
friendly, primarily because
I am not surrounded by piles
of open books and loose bits
of paper! So much more flexible!
There are also mock tests on
each subject area which has
been invaluable as the results
are immediate. The tutorials
are interactive, clear and
succinct, and offer all the
information needed to understand
the structure and function
of the human body. To be able
to manage your own pace in
your own space really is a
learning pleasure. Thanks Essential.- Lucy,
London
My views on the course are
that I am thoroughly enjoying
the layout and materials provided.
I find that I can easily access
the information required whether
I am on-line or using the CD
rom provided. One word quote
'Brilliant'. – Susan,
Glasgow
I find this course style
fits in easily with my busy
lifestyle as it allows me to
study as and when I like. The
Tutors are friendly, supportive
and helpful and the software
is easy to understand." - Gail,
Cheshire
The prospect of learning
Anatomy and Physiology seemed
very daunting. The subject
matter looked difficult and
the standard text books looked
incomprehensible. Furthermore
the courses offered by my local
colleges were few and far between
and those that were available
were inconvenient. Then I found
this amazing online course
with ETS. I can study in my
own time, whenever it is convenient.
The subject matter is well
presented, broken down into
manageable sections and easy
to understand. Little tests
along the way and self assessments,
at the end of each topic, help
to cement understanding. The
website has a forum where you
can talk to other students
and there is always a tutor
to turn to for information
or help. Don't get me wrong
the Anatomy and Physiology
course is not a walk in the
park, it requires commitment
and a lot of study, but this
online course eases the burden
considerably. So, what seemed
at first to be a daunting task
is now something of an adventure,
after all where else could
you visit such exotic places
like the Islets of Langerhans,
the Volkmanns Canals and the
Renal Pyramids? - John,
Chesterfield
Essential Training’s well
thought out and developed Anatomy & Physiology
course transforms a very complex
subject into a simple and enjoyable
programme of learning. Separate
modules comprehensively explain
how the body works and gently
build your knowledge step by
step (actually, click by click).
The in-depth information is
presented in bite-size chunks
that you can tackle in any
order at your own pace. Packed
full of powerful animated graphics
and aide memoirs to enhance
learning, you are guided logically
throughout the course to achieve
an in-depth understanding of
each body system before completing
an essential knowledge test,
which is then formally signed
off. As a mature student (heaven
help me I am 60 next year and
currently embarking on a new
career!) I haven’t done any
studying for years, so it is
a testament to the quality
of the course that I am consistently
getting high results in my
coursework. Gratification is
instant as test results are
given immediately; better still,
any mistakes or misunderstandings
are explained and fixed correctly
in your brain before moving
on. Online support and encouragement,
a resource centre and student
forum move you inexorably towards
your success. In my view, this
course is the most cost effective
and easily accessible source
of information available for
obtaining the VTCT qualification
and I would highly recommend
it as a foundation course for
any alternative or beauty therapist.
- Susan, Nottinghamshire
Having been away from the
studying environment for some
years I thought that it would
take me a while to get into
the swing of things. I found
the tutorial very easy to understand
and it's good to have your
understanding tested at various
stages. I like the fact that
the course is segmented into
manageable chunks and has colourful
illustrations. The tutor support
is excellent with quick responses
to questions. - Lowri,
Anglesey
I am really enjoying the
course. It is important for
me to be able to fit in study
around a busy family life.
The tutorials are easy to follow
and allow you to work at your
own pace. The questions at
the end of each section give
you an idea of the type of
questions that could be asked
in the Self Assessments. These
are a fantastic way of confirming
your understanding of the topic,
especially as you can take
them as many times as you like
until you are completely confident
that you are ready to take
the Essential Knowledge Assessments.
All the above is in the comfort
of your own home without a
college lecturer breathing
down your neck! Contact with
e-tutors is fantastic any queries
are answered quickly. – Helen,
Hampshire
The course is very thorough,
and the tutors are very helpful
and quick to respond. I was
originally going to be studying
this course at college but
due to unfortunate circumstances
it was cancelled, so this course
was a shining light! I was
able to start straight away
and hopefully I’ll be on track
to go back to college in September
with my diploma to start the
practical side of anatomy and
physiology! – Emily,
Staffordshire
The tutorials are easy to
understand and the diagrams
are a particularly useful visual
aid, particularly when it comes
to revision. The tutorials
reveal how the body works,
which makes the topic interesting
and show just how complex the
body is. I like the fact that
additional topics are included
that are not examined but that
facilitate a better understanding
of other systems. There is
also great support from the
e-tutors, which is appreciated. – Jayne,
Walsall
I never realized just how
much I would enjoy getting
back to studying as I have
done on this course. My preference
was being able to work at my
own pace coupled with the enjoyment
aspect of learning of A&P.
Highly essential for me as
I'm also involved with completing
additional Bowen training.
The self assessment modules
have also been of enormous
help to encourage and prepare
one to dig deeper and get better
results. My tutor Sharon has
been there for me every step
of the way ensuring I understand
what is asked of me. Once I
begin a study session I find
I want to continue which indicates
personal motivation and a sense
of enjoying what I'm learning.
Being able to post messages
on the student forum is another
excellent way to maintain contact
with Sharon and other students
who may have interesting book
suggestions or other questions
which are answered informatively
and promptly. The fact that
it’s online and I can study
whenever I wish works for me.
It’s also been inspiring to
see how many other student
have signed up on the A&P
side since I began a few months
ago. I can, and have already,
highly recommend this course. – Ingrid,
Middlesex
What a brilliant course!
I am so pleased that I enrolled.
Sharon my tutor is great, she
is very encouraging and helpful.
I am able to study at my own
pace (which is usually in between
housework and children!). The
course is of a very high standard
ensuring that everything I
learn is completely understood
during the assessments before
I do the final evidence test,
which contributes towards the
final diploma exam. I never
thought I would enjoy studying
so much! Everything about this
course is excellent. – Sarah,
Buckinghamshire
I am really enjoying the
course, even after a long day
at work I feel I want to study,
it is never a chore. The interactive
learning environment means
I am able to get to grips with
the course content quickly
and the reinforcement questions
test your knowledge and understanding
as you go along which keeps
you alert. My tutor makes regular
contact and gives me lots of
encouragement which is really
motivating. You are assessed
throughout the course which
counts towards your final mark.
The self assessments tests
are excellent preparation for
this and you can see how you
are progressing. The online
community is also very supportive
and there are discussion forums
where you can share information
and ideas - you feel like you
are part of a class, except
everyone is able to work at
their own pace. - Layla,
Oxford
My long and irregular work
hours make attending college
difficult so I was delighted
to find that Essential Training
Solutions are offering the
VTCT Level 3 Diploma in Anatomy
and Physiology through an online
distance learning course. I
am able to study at my own
pace at times that suit me
and the course itself is of
an excellent standard making
learning a pleasure. Besides
the online tutorial the course
also includes a range of challenging
self assessments which have
helped me to chart my progress
and to judge when to take the
essential knowledge evidence
tests which count towards the
diploma. The ETS staff maintain
regular contact and have been
very supportive and there is
also a student forum to exchange
messages with other people
doing the course. The course
leads to a nationally recognised
qualification and so is far
more worthwhile than some of
the homespun certificates being
touted on the internet - it
isn't something you can do
in a few days but then it wouldn't
be worth doing if it was! I
have been doing the course
for about a month now and have
been getting great results
in my assessments, I am really
enjoying the online tutorial
and I actually look forward
to studying at weekends. I
would recommend this method
of learning to anyone who needs
to fit attaining their qualification
around a busy life or who perhaps
just doesn't like sitting around
in classrooms. - Andrew,
Derbyshire
I can’t speak highly enough
of this course. The tutors
are great and always there
to help and give fast replies
by Email or Telephone. The
layout of the course is great
and the study material they
supply on the Web Site and
on Disk makes the course so
much more enjoyable and easier
to understand. You have your
own private web page where
you can access all the course
material, view your grades
and speak to others on the
course in the forum. It’s easy
to use and fun to learn 10/10
from me. - Jamie,
Hertfordshire
The support that I have
received from Essential Training
Solutions is second to none,
everyone I have spoken to there
has been helpful, friendly
and above all cheerful. The
solution is easy to use, the
modules very clear and the
fact that this can be done
either on or offline is fantastic.
You can work at your own pace
and choose the hours that suit
you, making it much more flexible
than studying at a traditional
college. Contact is frequent
and if you are unsure about
any aspect of the module you
are studying you can either
contact your tutor or post
a question on the student message
board, responses are fast and
clear. There are self assessment
modules which enable you to
gauge your progress, seeing
a great score really gives
you a sense of achievement.
Credit to Essential Training
Solutions and especially my
tutor Sharon, the course has
been enjoyable and the service
provided excellent. - Samantha,
Hampshire
