I took the Shipboard Leadership and Management course at Stanmore School of Business to enhance my skills and knowledge in this area. The course was pretty good, and I liked the way the instructors presented the material. I found the sections on risk management and emergency response particularly useful, as they're critical aspects of shipboard operations. The course materials were decent, but I thought some of the readings could be more concise and focused. Nevertheless, I appreciated the opportunity to learn from experienced instructors and interact with fellow students from diverse backgrounds. One thing that could be improved is the discussion forum - sometimes it was hard to get feedback from the instructors. Still, I'd recommend this course to others who want to improve their leadership and management skills in the maritime sector.
