I found the Certificate in Sports Journalism (Advanced) course at Stanmore School of Business to be pretty cool. I mean, I've always been into sports and writing, so it was awesome to learn about the intersection of both. The course taught me a lot about the different types of sports writing, like profiles and analysis pieces. I also got to practice writing match reports and conducting interviews, which was really helpful. The instructors were pretty responsive and gave me some useful tips on how to improve my writing. One thing that would've been nice is if there were more examples of sports writing from different regions, but overall, I'm happy with what I learned and would recommend the course to others.
