I really enjoyed the Advanced Behavioural Addiction certificate. The content helped me hit my goal of understanding how digital addictions develop, and I walked away with practical tools like the Behavioural Activation worksheet that I’m already using with my clients. The reading pack was spot‑on – concise, relevant, and full of real‑world examples. The tutors were approachable and gave useful feedback on my assignments. All in all, a solid course that gave me tangible skills and a good boost to my confidence as a therapist.

The Global Certificate in Behavioural Addiction (Advanced) at Stanmore School of Business precisely met my learning goals. The modules on neuro‑behavioral pathways and evidence‑based intervention strategies gave me the confidence to design comprehensive treatment plans for clients with gambling and internet addictions. I especially appreciated the practical case‑study workshops where we applied Motivational Interviewing techniques in real‑time simulations. The course materials were up‑to‑date, with recent research articles and interactive video lectures that were easy to follow. Overall, the learning experience was seamless and highly professional – I feel fully equipped to integrate these new skills into my clinical practice.

Wow! This course blew me away! The Advanced Behavioural Addiction program gave me exactly what I needed to deepen my expertise in substance‑use disorders. I loved the hands‑on modules where we practiced relapse‑prevention planning and learned to use the latest digital assessment tools – I even built a mobile‑app prototype for tracking cravings during the capstone project! The resources were top‑notch, with cutting‑edge research and engaging video demos. My experience was super engaging and I’m thrilled to apply these new skills in my community health centre.

The Global Certificate in Behavioural Addiction (Advanced) provided a detailed and rigorous curriculum that aligned perfectly with my objective to specialize in behavioral interventions for addiction. Each module, from the neuroscience of reward systems to the ethics of digital therapy, was supported by comprehensive slide decks, peer‑reviewed journal excerpts, and practical assignments. I found the skill‑building exercise on conducting functional analyses particularly valuable, as it has already improved my assessment reports. The course platform was user‑friendly, and the weekly live Q&A sessions with the faculty added depth to the learning. Overall, a thorough and well‑structured program that enhanced my professional toolkit.
