I found the Social Work course at Stanmore School of Business to be a great introduction to the field. As someone from Egypt, I was interested in learning more about social work from a global perspective, and the course provided a good balance of theoretical and practical knowledge. I appreciated the examples of social work practices in different countries, which helped me understand the similarities and differences in approaches. The course materials were well-organized, and I liked the interactive discussions and activities that were included. One area for improvement could be more focus on regional-specific issues, but overall, I'm happy with the course and feel that it's given me a solid foundation to build on.

I took the Social Work course at Stanmore School of Business as part of my professional development, and I'm really glad I did. As a social worker in Brazil, I was looking to update my knowledge and skills, and the course provided a great overview of current trends and best practices in the field. I appreciated the focus on social justice and human rights, as well as the emphasis on working with diverse populations. The course materials were well-organized, and I liked the inclusion of multimedia resources, such as videos and podcasts. One thing that would have been helpful is more opportunities for feedback and discussion with the instructors, but overall, I'm satisfied with the course and feel that it's helped me to improve my practice.
