I recently completed the 'Human Factors in Incident Response' course at Stanmore School of Business and overall, I'm pretty satisfied with the experience. As a professional in the field of risk management, I was looking to enhance my knowledge of human factors and their impact on incident response. The course covered a lot of useful topics, such as human error, communication, and decision-making, and provided some helpful frameworks and tools for analyzing and mitigating incidents. I appreciated the instructor's expertise and the opportunities for discussion and Q&A. The course materials were also well-organized and easy to follow. One thing that could be improved is the addition of more Latin American case studies, as the course focused mainly on European and North American examples. However, overall I would recommend this course to others in the field - it's a solid introduction to human factors in incident response and provides a good foundation for further learning.
