I took the Human-Centered Design for Security Awareness course to enhance my skills in security awareness program design. The course was pretty cool, and I liked how it focused on the human side of security. I learned a lot about how to design programs that are user-friendly and effective. The instructors were nice, and the course materials were okay, but sometimes I felt like they were a bit too theoretical. Still, I managed to apply some of the concepts to my work, and it's been helpful. Overall, it was a good course, and I'd recommend it to others who are interested in security awareness.

The Human-Centered Design for Security Awareness course at Stanmore School of Business was a valuable learning experience for me. As a detail-oriented person, I appreciated the comprehensive approach to security awareness program design. The course covered a wide range of topics, from threat analysis to user experience design, and provided many examples of best practices. I found the course materials to be well-organized and relevant to my work. One area for improvement could be the addition of more case studies from Asian countries, as the majority of examples were from Western countries. Nevertheless, I gained a deeper understanding of human-centered design principles and their application to security awareness, which I can apply to my current role. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others seeking to improve their security awareness skills.
