I recently finished the Advanced Certificate in Creative Writing (Advanced) at Stanmore School of Business, and I must say it was a great experience. As a writer from Egypt, I was looking to broaden my horizons and learn from international instructors. The course covered a wide range of topics, from poetry to scriptwriting, and I appreciated the flexibility of the online format. While some of the course materials felt a bit dated, the overall quality was still high. I enjoyed the peer review process, which allowed me to get feedback from fellow writers and learn from their experiences. One area for improvement would be to include more diverse examples and case studies, but overall, I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others.
