I took the Advanced Certificate in Disability Studies to enhance my skills as a social worker, and I'm happy to say that the course delivered. The content was well-organized and easy to follow, even for someone like me who doesn't have a background in disability studies. I appreciated the focus on practical applications and the use of interactive quizzes and activities to reinforce learning. One of the most useful things I learned was how to create accessible documents and materials, which I've already started implementing in my work. The course materials were generally good, although I felt that some of the readings could be more concise. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to anyone looking to gain a better understanding of disability issues and how to support individuals with disabilities.
