I took the Executive Certificate in Sustainable Drainage Design and Planning at Stanmore School of Business to upskill and transition into a role that focuses on environmental sustainability. The course was pretty cool, and I liked how it covered a wide range of topics, from hydrology to urban planning. The instructors were knowledgeable and provided plenty of examples and anecdotes to illustrate key concepts. One thing that really stood out was the emphasis on practical skills - we worked on a bunch of projects and case studies that helped me develop my problem-solving abilities and think creatively about sustainable drainage design. The course materials were also solid, with a good mix of textbooks, articles, and online resources. My only suggestion would be to include more interactive elements, like discussions or group work, to make the learning experience more engaging.
