As a mature student returning to education, I was slightly apprehensive about starting the Undergraduate Certificate in Developmental Disabilities at Stanmore. However, my concerns were quickly laid to rest as I found the course content to be clear, concise, and relevant to my learning goals. I gained valuable skills in communication, problem-solving, and person-centred planning, which I've already put into practice in my volunteer work. Although some of the course materials could benefit from a visual update, the overall quality was satisfactory. I'm pleased with my experience and grateful for the opportunity to expand my knowledge in this vital area.

I'm absolutely thrilled with the Undergraduate Certificate in Developmental Disabilities from Stanmore School of Business! The course was engaging, insightful, and covered a wealth of information that I found incredibly useful in my role as a support worker. I learned so much about person-centred approaches, advocacy, and evidence-based practices—things that have directly impacted the quality of care I provide. While I would've appreciated a bit more interaction with my instructors and fellow students, the course materials and overall structure were excellent. I'm walking away from this experience feeling empowered, knowledgeable, and excited to continue learning!
