I took the Professional Certificate in Addiction Recovery (Advanced) from Stanmore School of Business to improve my understanding of addiction and its treatment. As a psychologist in Brazil, I was interested in learning more about the latest approaches and techniques in addiction recovery. The course was well-structured and covered a wide range of topics, from the biology of addiction to the importance of family support. I found the section on cognitive-behavioral therapy to be particularly useful, as it provided me with practical strategies for working with clients. While some of the course materials could be improved, overall I was satisfied with the course and appreciated the opportunity to learn from experienced instructors. One area for improvement could be the inclusion of more case studies or examples from diverse cultural contexts.

I recently completed the Professional Certificate in Addiction Recovery (Advanced) from Stanmore School of Business, and I must say that it was a thoroughly enjoyable and enriching experience. As a healthcare professional in Singapore, I was keen to expand my knowledge of addiction and its treatment, and this course provided me with a wealth of information and insights. The course materials were detailed and well-researched, and I appreciated the opportunity to engage with the instructors and fellow students through the online discussion forum. One of the highlights of the course for me was the section on mindfulness-based interventions, which has inspired me to explore new approaches in my practice. While the course was generally well-organized, there were a few minor technical issues with the online platform. Nevertheless, I would recommend this course to anyone looking to advance their understanding of addiction recovery.
