The Postgraduate Certificate in Marine Navigation and Nautical Technology (Advanced) at Stanmore School of Business was a great experience for me. As a marine engineer from Brazil, I was looking to upgrade my skills and knowledge in navigation and nautical technology. The course delivered on its promises, with a good balance of theoretical and practical content. I appreciated the focus on practical applications, such as navigating through congested waterways and handling emergency situations. The course materials were well-organized, and the instructors were knowledgeable and responsive. My only suggestion would be to include more case studies from the Latin American region, as this would make the course even more relevant to students from this part of the world.
