I found the Professional Certificate in Vessel Traffic Incident Management to be a solid course that provided a good foundation in the subject matter. As a ports and shipping professional based in Egypt, I was looking to enhance my knowledge and skills in this area, and the course definitely helped me achieve that. The course materials were well-organized and easy to follow, and I appreciated the emphasis on practical applications and real-world examples. One area that I found particularly useful was the section on communication and coordination during incidents, which has already helped me in my daily work. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others in the industry, although I did find some of the modules to be a bit dry at times.

I recently completed the Professional Certificate in Vessel Traffic Incident Management at Stanmore School of Business, and overall, I'm pleased with the experience. As a maritime professional based in Brazil, I was looking to expand my knowledge and skills in this area, and the course provided a good introduction to the subject matter. The course materials were well-organized and easy to follow, and I appreciated the emphasis on practical applications and real-world examples. One area that I found particularly useful was the section on vessel traffic management systems, which has already helped me in my work with shipping companies. The instructors were knowledgeable and responsive, and the online platform was user-friendly and convenient. My only suggestion for improvement would be to include more Latin American case studies and examples, as some of the content felt a bit too focused on European and North American contexts.
