I found the Certificate in Digital Archives and Digital Transformation course to be a solid introduction to the field of digital archives. As someone with a background in library science, I was interested in learning more about the technical aspects of digital preservation and transformation. The course covered a lot of ground, from the basics of digital storage to more advanced topics like data curation and digital forensics. I appreciated the emphasis on practical skills, and I enjoyed working on the group projects, which gave me a chance to collaborate with fellow students from different backgrounds. One area for improvement might be the addition of more real-world examples or case studies from non-Western contexts, but overall I was satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others.

I loved the interactive discussions and the opportunity to connect with fellow students from all over the world.

I recently completed the Certificate in Digital Archives and Digital Transformation course from Stanmore School of Business, and I have to say that it was a really positive experience. As someone with a background in history, I was looking to develop my skills in the area of digital archives, and this course provided a great introduction to the field. The course content was well-structured and easy to follow, and I appreciated the emphasis on practical skills like digitization and metadata creation. The instructors were knowledgeable and responsive, and the course materials were high-quality and relevant. One thing that might be helpful in the future would be the addition of more specialized tracks or electives, to allow students to dive deeper into specific areas of interest. Overall, however, I was happy with the course and would recommend it to others.
