USI took the Graduate Certificate in Addiction Counseling at Stanmore School of Business and it was a great experience. The course was pretty chill, but still really informative. I liked how the instructors used real-life examples to illustrate key concepts, it made the material more relatable and easier to understand. The course materials were solid, nothing too fancy, but they got the job done. One thing that really stood out to me was the focus on cultural competence and working with diverse populations. It was really eye-opening to learn about the different ways that addiction can affect people from different backgrounds. Overall, I'd say the course was a good value and I'm glad I took it.

INI completed the Graduate Certificate in Addiction Counseling at Stanmore School of Business and I must say it was a thoroughly detailed and well-organized course. The syllabus was comprehensive, covering a wide range of topics related to addiction counseling, including pharmacology, psychology, and sociology. The course materials were of high quality, with a good balance of theoretical and practical knowledge. I particularly appreciated the emphasis on evidence-based practices and the use of case studies to illustrate key concepts. The instructors were knowledgeable and responsive to questions, and the online discussion forums were a great way to engage with fellow students and share experiences. One area for improvement could be the addition of more interactive elements, such as quizzes or games, to enhance student engagement. Overall, however, I was satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others interested in this field.
