I enrolled in the Advanced Certificate in Hostage Negotiation (Advanced) course at Stanmore School of Business looking to enhance my skills in crisis management and negotiation. The course did not disappoint - the instructors were experienced and provided valuable insights, and the course materials were well-researched and relevant. I particularly appreciated the focus on cultural awareness and sensitivity, which is so important in international negotiations. The course was well-structured and easy to follow, although I did find some of the assignments to be a bit challenging. Overall, I'm happy with the course and would recommend it to others in the field. One suggestion I might make is to include more case studies from the Middle East and North Africa, as these regions have unique cultural and political contexts that require specialized knowledge and skills.
