I found the Certificate in Disability Studies (Advanced) to be a really useful course that helped me develop a better understanding of the issues surrounding disability. The course content was pretty thorough, covering topics like disability rights and policy, which was great for my work in advocacy. One of the most practical skills I gained was learning how to conduct accessibility audits, which has been super helpful in my job. The course materials were okay, but sometimes I felt like they could be more engaging. Still, the overall learning experience was good, and I appreciated the flexibility of the online format. I'd recommend this course to others who are interested in disability studies, but maybe with a few tweaks to make it more interactive.

Wow, just wow! The Certificate in Disability Studies (Advanced) at Stanmore School of Business was an amazing experience that exceeded my expectations in every way! The course content was so rich and diverse, covering everything from disability theory to best practices in inclusive education. I was particularly impressed by the emphasis on intersectionality and how disability intersects with other social justice issues. The practical skills I gained, such as learning how to develop individualized support plans, have been incredibly valuable in my work as a teacher. The course materials were top-notch, with lots of multimedia resources and real-life case studies that made the learning experience feel really immersive. I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to take this course and can't wait to apply my new knowledge and skills in my career!

The Certificate in Disability Studies (Advanced) was a great course that provided me with a solid foundation in disability studies. The course content was well-structured and easy to follow, with a good balance of theoretical and practical knowledge. One of the things that really stood out to me was the emphasis on community-based approaches to disability support, which aligns with my values as a social worker. The course materials were generally good, although sometimes I felt like they could be more concise. The online format was convenient, but I did miss the opportunity to interact more with my peers. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others who are looking for a comprehensive introduction to disability studies. With a few tweaks to the course design, I think it could be even more effective in supporting student learning.
