I recently completed the Advanced Certificate in Child-Friendly Spaces and Environment Design (Advanced) at Stanmore School of Business, and I must say that it was a thoroughly enjoyable and informative experience. As a urban planner with a focus on community development, I was interested in learning more about how to design public spaces that are welcoming and inclusive for children and families. The course provided a detailed and nuanced exploration of the subject matter, with a particular emphasis on the importance of consultation and community engagement. I appreciated the use of real-world examples and case studies to illustrate key concepts, and the instructors were always available to answer questions and provide feedback. One area for improvement might be the addition of more interactive elements, such as simulations or games, to help reinforce learning outcomes. Nonetheless, I would recommend this course to anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of child-friendly design principles and their application in practice.
