The Substance Misuse Prevention course at Stanmore School of Business was a great learning experience for me. I liked how the course was structured, with each module building on the previous one to give a thorough understanding of substance misuse and its prevention. The examples used were relevant and helped me understand the concepts better. I appreciated the flexibility of the course, which allowed me to balance my studies with my work schedule.
