I recently completed the Advanced Certificate in Creative Writing (Advanced) at Stanmore School of Business, and I must say it was a great experience. As a Canadian student, I was a bit skeptical about taking an online course, but the instructors were knowledgeable and supportive. The course content was well-structured and covered a wide range of topics, from poetry to screenwriting. I found the lessons on writing for different genres to be particularly helpful, as they gave me a better understanding of the industry and how to tailor my work accordingly. One thing that could be improved is the discussion forum, which sometimes felt a bit slow. Nevertheless, I gained some valuable insights and skills, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to have taken this course. The course materials were relevant and up-to-date, and I appreciated the guest lectures from industry professionals.

I completed the Advanced Certificate in Creative Writing (Advanced) at Stanmore School of Business, and I'm generally satisfied with the experience. As a Japanese student, I was interested in learning more about Western writing styles and techniques, and this course provided a good introduction. The course content was detailed and well-organized, and I appreciated the emphasis on critical thinking and analysis. The instructors were knowledgeable, and their feedback was helpful in identifying areas for improvement. One thing that I found particularly useful was the lesson on writing for different cultures, which gave me a better understanding of the nuances of language and audience. The course materials were of high quality, and I liked the fact that they included examples from various genres and authors. However, I sometimes found the discussion forum to be a bit quiet, which made it difficult to engage with my peers. Overall, I think this course is a good choice for anyone looking to improve their creative writing skills, especially those interested in writing for international audiences.
