I chose the Executive Certificate in International Development (Advanced) at Stanmore School of Business because I wanted to gain a deeper understanding of the complex issues facing our global community. The course did not disappoint - the lectures were informative, the assignments were challenging, and the feedback from instructors was always constructive. One of the most valuable takeaways for me was the ability to analyze and develop effective solutions to real-world problems. For example, in one of the modules, we worked on a project to design a sustainable agriculture program for a rural community in Africa. It was amazing to see how the concepts we learned in class could be applied to make a tangible difference in people's lives. While there were some areas where I felt the course could be improved, overall I'm happy with my experience and would recommend it to others looking to expand their knowledge of international development.
