I took the Geotechnical Site Investigation course at Stanmore School of Business, and it was a great learning experience. The course covered a wide range of topics, from site characterization to laboratory testing, and the instructor did a good job of explaining complex concepts in a clear and concise manner. One of the things that I found particularly useful was the section on geophysical methods, which I hadn't had much experience with before. The course materials were well-organized and easy to follow, and I liked that they included case studies and examples from different parts of the world. My only suggestion would be to include more interactive elements, such as discussions or group projects, to make the course more engaging. Overall, I'd recommend the course to anyone looking to improve their skills in geotechnical site investigation.

I recently completed the Geotechnical Site Investigation course at Stanmore School of Business, and I must say it was a valuable learning experience. As a civil engineer working in the UAE, I was looking to enhance my skills in site investigation, and this course definitely delivered. The instructor was knowledgeable and experienced, and the course content was well-structured and easy to follow. I appreciated the focus on practical applications and the use of case studies to illustrate key concepts. One of the things that I found particularly useful was the section on drilling and sampling methods, which I hadn't had much experience with before. The course materials were of high quality, and I liked that they included references to relevant international standards and codes of practice. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking to improve their skills in geotechnical site investigation. However, I did find some of the modules to be a bit dry, and I think it would be helpful to include more interactive elements to keep students engaged.
