I really enjoyed the Postgraduate Certificate in Conservation of Vintage Paper Items (Advanced) at Stanmore School of Business. The course content was super relevant to my work in a museum, and I loved the examples of real-world conservation projects. I gained some really useful skills, like how to assess the condition of paper artifacts and create custom storage solutions. The online discussions with my classmates were also really helpful - we shared some great tips and resources. One thing that would've made the course even better was more feedback from the instructor on our assignments, but overall I'm really happy with what I learned and would recommend the course to others in the field.

As a detail-oriented person, I appreciated the meticulous approach to teaching the fundamentals of paper conservation, including the science behind paper degradation and the various methods for stabilization and restoration.
