I took the IMO Conventions and Regulations course at Stanmore School of Business to enhance my knowledge of international maritime laws and regulations. As a maritime lawyer based in Brazil, I needed to stay up-to-date on the latest developments in this field. The course was well-structured and comprehensive, covering a wide range of topics related to IMO conventions and regulations. I appreciated the detailed analysis of key conventions, such as SOLAS and MARPOL, and the examples of how they are applied in practice. The course materials were of high quality, and the instructors were knowledgeable and responsive to questions. One area for improvement could be the addition of more Latin American case studies, which would make the course more relevant to my region. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others seeking to advance their knowledge of IMO conventions and regulations.
