I took the Professional Certificate in Food Waste Reduction (Advanced) at Stanmore School of Business, and it was a great experience! As a food waste manager in Brazil, I was looking to gain more insights into the latest technologies and strategies for reducing food waste. The course delivered on that front, with some really interesting modules on anaerobic digestion and composting. I also appreciated the discussion forums, where I could share my own experiences and learn from others in the field. One thing that could be improved is the availability of more region-specific examples, but overall, I'm happy with what I learned and would recommend the course to others in the industry.
