The course materials were relevant and up-to-date, and the discussion forum was a great way to connect with other students and get feedback on my thoughts and ideas.

Overall, I'm glad I took the course, and I feel like it's helped me become a more effective and knowledgeable counselor.

AUI completed the Pharmacology of Substance Abuse course at Stanmore School of Business, and I found it to be a well-structured and informative program. The course materials were detailed and comprehensive, covering a wide range of topics related to substance abuse and pharmacology. I appreciated the use of diagrams and illustrations to explain complex concepts, and the instructors were responsive to questions and feedback. One area that I found particularly useful was the section on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics - it really helped me understand how different substances interact with the body and how they can be used to treat addiction. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course, and I feel like it's helped me achieve my learning goals. The only reason I didn't give it a 5-star rating is that some of the lectures felt a bit dry at times, but overall it was a great experience.
