I took the Certificate in Fundamentals of Aged Care from Stanmore School of Business, and it was a really great experience. I'm from Brazil, and I was a bit worried that the course might not be relevant to my context, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that the content was really universal. I learned a lot about the social and cultural factors that influence aged care, and I appreciated the emphasis on promoting health and wellbeing in older adults. The course materials were good, but I did find some of the assignments a bit tricky to complete. Overall, I'm really glad I did the course, and I think it's a great option for anyone looking to get into aged care.

I recently completed the Certificate in Fundamentals of Aged Care from Stanmore School of Business, and I must say that it was a very thorough and well-structured course. As a healthcare worker from South Africa, I was looking for a course that would provide me with a solid foundation in aged care, and this course definitely delivered. I appreciated the detailed explanations of the different models of care, and I found the case studies really helpful in illustrating the practical applications of the concepts. The course materials were of high quality, and the assessments were challenging but fair. My only suggestion would be to include more examples from low- and middle-income countries, as some of the content was a bit too focused on high-income country contexts. Overall, I'm really glad I did the course, and I would recommend it to anyone looking to develop their skills in aged care.
