I took the Global Certificate in Data Journalism Leadership course at Stanmore School of Business, and it was a solid experience. The course covered a lot of ground, from data cleaning and analysis to visualization and storytelling. I appreciated the practical examples and exercises, which helped me gain hands-on experience with tools like Tableau and Power BI. The course materials were well-organized and easy to follow, although I did find some of the video lectures to be a bit dry at times. Overall, I'd recommend this course to anyone looking to get started with data journalism, but I do think it could benefit from a bit more interactivity and feedback from instructors.
