I took the Global Certificate in Cultural Competence for Humanitarian Professionals at Stanmore School of Business, and it was a solid experience. The course covered a lot of ground, from cultural theory to practical applications in humanitarian work. I found the discussions on cultural humility and power dynamics to be really insightful, and the group assignments helped me develop my collaboration skills. The course materials were generally well-organized and easy to follow, although some of the readings could be more concise. One thing that stood out to me was the diversity of the student body - it was great to learn from people with different backgrounds and perspectives. While there were some areas for improvement, overall I'm glad I took the course and feel more equipped to work in diverse cultural contexts.
