Training Courses

Hi everyone,

I'm after some advice on osteopathy degree courses. I have a biology degree and ITEC Massage Diploma and have been working in medical diagnostics for 5 years. After returning from 6 months traveling, I am looking to re-train as an osteopath - something I have wanted to do since I left uni but have been put off by the length and expense of training. I am very keen to get started, and though I am cutting it close for application for this academic year, there are a couple of places left that I am considering - one is at Oxford Brookes on the part time BOst. Does anyone know how this course compares with others offered by the likes of BSO for example?

I have not been able to visit Brookes, or any other colleges as have only been back a week...and my instinct is telling me to wait until next year to apply so that I can make a well informed choice about where I study. However, getting onto a course now and not having to wait another year is tempting and if Brookes is a good place to train (plus I live in Oxford), I don't want to waste the opportunity of getting started now. Any feedback on the course and general reputation of Oxford Brookes would be appreciated! I don't want to rush into anything as I know it's a really important decision, and want to make the right one... the Brookes course starts on Friday...!!!

Thanks, Sarah
