I've just completed Stanmore School of Business's Postgraduate Certificate in Neuroscience of Addiction, and I couldn't be happier. The course materials were top-notch and incredibly relevant to my work in mental health. I've gained a wealth of practical knowledge on the neurobiological underpinnings of addiction, and I've already started implementing new strategies with my clients. The case studies and real-life examples provided in the course have been invaluable in deepening my understanding of these complex issues. Overall, I couldn't recommend this course highly enough.
