I recently completed the Navigation and Chartwork course at Stanmore School of Business and I'm pleased with the outcome. The course provided a thorough introduction to navigation principles and practices, which was exactly what I needed to enhance my skills as a coastal engineer. The instructor's explanations were clear and concise, and the examples were relevant to my field of work. I appreciated the attention to detail and the emphasis on safety protocols. The course materials were well-structured and the online platform was easy to navigate.

Overall, I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others in the field.
