I thoroughly enjoyed the Postgraduate Certificate in Data Governance course at Stanmore School of Business. The course materials were detailed and relevant, with plenty of examples and case studies to illustrate key concepts. I appreciated the focus on practical skills, such as data governance framework design and data quality assessment. The instructors were knowledgeable and provided constructive feedback on assignments. One area for improvement could be the inclusion of more African-specific examples and case studies, as some of the content felt a bit too focused on European and North American contexts. Nevertheless, I'm happy with what I learned and feel more equipped to tackle data governance challenges in my organization.
