INThe Postgraduate Certificate in Geriatric Psychiatry and Mental Health Support at Stanmore School of Business was a great learning experience for me. I was a bit skeptical at first, but the course really delivered. The instructors were knowledgeable and supportive, and the online platform was easy to use. I appreciated the focus on practical skills, such as developing care plans and working with families and caregivers. The course materials were well-organized and easy to follow, with plenty of opportunities for discussion and feedback. One area for improvement might be the addition of more interactive elements, such as videos or simulations, to break up the text-based content. Overall, though, I was happy with the course and feel like it's helped me improve my skills and knowledge in geriatric mental health.

AUI completed the Postgraduate Certificate in Geriatric Psychiatry and Mental Health Support at Stanmore School of Business and found it to be a solid, well-structured course. The content was comprehensive and up-to-date, covering all the key topics and issues in geriatric mental health. I appreciated the attention to detail and the emphasis on evidence-based practice. The course materials were clear and concise, with plenty of examples and illustrations to help reinforce key concepts. One thing that might be helpful in the future would be more opportunities for feedback and assessment, such as quizzes or assignments, to help students gauge their progress and identify areas for improvement.
