I recently completed the Postgraduate Certificate in Design Thinking and Project Management, and I have to say, it was a really great experience. The course covered a lot of ground, from design thinking principles to project planning and execution. I found the modules on user research and prototyping to be particularly helpful, as they gave me a solid understanding of how to apply design thinking in a real-world context. The course materials were good, but I did find some of the assignments to be a bit vague at times. Overall, though, I'm happy with what I learned, and I feel like it's helped me become a more well-rounded project manager.
