This course has been a game-changer for my career in social work. The practical knowledge I gained about prevention and treatment strategies for substance use disorders is invaluable. I can already see the positive impact it's had on my clients' lives. The course materials were top-notch, and the real-world case studies gave me a chance to apply what I learned. Highly recommend!

As a mental health nurse in the NHS, I found the Undergraduate Certificate in Prevention and Treatment of Substance Use Disorders incredibly useful. The course content was engaging, and I particularly appreciated the focus on evidence-based interventions. I'm confident that the skills I've gained will help me better support my patients. The only reason I didn't give it a 5-star rating is that I would have liked more interactive elements in the course materials.

This course is fantastic! I'm a psychology student in India, and I wanted to specialize in addiction. The course exceeded my expectations - the lecturers were knowledgeable, and the resources provided were extensive. I learned so much about the various aspects of substance use disorders, from neurobiology to psychotherapy. I'm now considering pursuing a master's degree in this field. Thank you, London School of International Business!

The quality of the course materials was exceptional - engaging, informative, and easy to follow. I'm so grateful for this learning opportunity and highly recommend it to anyone interested in this field.
