I took the Disaster Response and Recovery Planning course at Stanmore School of Business to enhance my skills in emergency management. The course was pretty good, with some really useful modules on disaster risk reduction and business continuity planning. I liked that the course included examples from different regions, including Africa and the Middle East, which made it more relatable to my work context. The instructors were knowledgeable and responsive to questions, and the discussion forums were a great way to interact with fellow students and share experiences. One area for improvement could be the addition of more case studies from the private sector, but overall, I found the course to be well-structured and informative.
