Hey there, I just finished the Certificate in Accounting for Nonprofit Organizations (Advanced) at Stanmore School of Business, and I'm really glad I took it. The course was pretty cool, and I learned a lot about nonprofit accounting, like how to handle donations and manage grants. The instructors were super knowledgeable, and the discussion forums were really helpful. I also liked the fact that the course was self-paced, so I could finish it on my own time. One thing that could be improved is the lack of direct interaction with the instructors, but overall, it was a great experience, and I'd definitely recommend it to others.
