The Counseling Skills course at Stanmore School of Business was a great experience for me. I liked how the course was structured, with a mix of theoretical and practical lessons. The instructor was knowledgeable and provided useful feedback on our assignments. One of the most valuable things I learned was how to conduct a counseling session, including how to create a safe and non-judgmental space for clients. The course materials were good, but I thought some of the readings could be more up-to-date. Overall, I'm happy with what I learned and would recommend the course to others, but I think there's room for improvement in terms of the course materials.

I recently completed the Counseling Skills course at Stanmore School of Business, and I must say it was a thoroughly enjoyable and enriching experience. The course content was well-structured and covered a wide range of topics, from counseling theories to practical skills. I appreciated the emphasis on cultural sensitivity and diversity, which I think is essential for any counselor. The instructor was knowledgeable and provided helpful feedback, and the course materials were of high quality. One area for improvement could be more opportunities for peer feedback and discussion, but overall I was very satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others. The skills I learned have already been useful in my volunteer work, and I feel more confident in my ability to support others.
