I took the Postgraduate Certificate in School Counseling at Stanmore School of Business, and it was a great learning experience. The course covered a lot of practical stuff that I can use in my daily work as a counselor. I liked that the instructors were all experienced professionals who shared their own experiences and insights. The course materials were pretty good, but I felt like some of the assignments could have been more challenging. One thing that really stood out to me was the section on crisis intervention - it was super helpful to learn about the different strategies and techniques for responding to crisis situations. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this course to anyone looking to get into school counseling.

I completed the Postgraduate Certificate in School Counseling at Stanmore School of Business, and I was impressed by the depth and breadth of the course content. The instructors were experts in their field, and they provided detailed feedback on our assignments. I appreciated the emphasis on evidence-based practices and the use of data to inform counseling decisions. The course materials were well-organized and easy to follow, with plenty of examples and case studies to illustrate key concepts. One area where I felt the course could improve was in the discussion of technology-based counseling tools - I would have liked to see more coverage of this topic. Nevertheless, I gained a lot of valuable knowledge and skills from this course, and I'm confident that it will serve me well in my future career as a school counselor.
