I'm pleased to share my thoughts on the 'Fire Investigation Methodology' course at Stanmore School of Business. As a South African fire investigator, I was looking to enhance my skills in fire scene examination and evidence analysis. The course provided a detailed and systematic approach to fire investigation, covering topics such as fire pattern recognition, electrical fire investigation, and laboratory analysis. The course materials were well-organized and easy to access, with a good mix of lectures, tutorials, and case studies. I appreciated the emphasis on practical application, with plenty of examples and scenarios to work through. The instructors were knowledgeable and supportive, providing helpful feedback and guidance throughout the course. One area for improvement might be the addition of more local case studies or examples, but overall, I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others in the field.
