I completed the Advanced Certificate in National Security Policy at Stanmore School of Business, and it was a valuable learning experience. The course provided a thorough overview of national security policy, including the theoretical foundations, historical context, and current challenges. I appreciated the detailed analysis of different national security strategies and the opportunities to discuss and debate these topics with my peers. The course materials were well-researched and up-to-date, and the instructors were knowledgeable and supportive. One area for improvement could be the inclusion of more regional perspectives, particularly from Latin America. Nevertheless, I was satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others interested in national security policy.
